Sheet Pan Gnocchi With Sausage And Pesto Food

SHEET-PAN GNOCCHI WITH SAUSAGE AND PESTO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line large rimmed sheet pan with cooking parchment paper. Make gnocchi as directed on package; drain.
• Meanwhile, in 8-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add bread crumbs; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown; remove from skillet.
• In large bowl, add gnocchi, remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, the salt and pepper, tossing thoroughly to coat. Add tomatoes and bell pepper; gently stir to coat. Spread mixture in sheet pan; make room on one end for sausage links, and place them slightly apart.
• Roast 15 minutes; stir gnocchi mixture, and rotate sausage links. Return to oven; roast 12 to 15 minutes longer or until gnocchi are light golden brown and meat thermometer inserted in sausage reads 165°F.
• Remove sausage to cutting board; cut at angle into 1/2-inch pieces. Add sausage back to sheet pan. Spoon pesto on top of gnocchi and sausage mixture; gently stir to incorporate. Top with bread crumb mixture before serving.

CRISPY SHEET PAN GNOCCHI WITH SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss together the sausage, oregano, red pepper flakes, garlic, bell peppers, onion, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper on a sheet pan. Pour the cherry tomatoes over top and gently shake the pan a few times to evenly distribute. Bake until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the gnocchi with the Parmesan, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Turn the oven to broil. Sprinkle the gnocchi over the sausage and vegetables and broil until dark golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Divide among 4 plates and sprinkle with the parsley and more Parmesan.

SHEET PAN GNOCCHI AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray.
• Spread the gnocchi, tomatoes, peppers and onions on the baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, basil and crushed red pepper and toss well to combine everything. Make sure everything, especially the gnocchi, is seasoned well!
• Roasted for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing once during cook time. You want the tomatoes to be bursting and the peppers to be soft and caramely.
• Serve the gnocchi immediately. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and a sprinkling of fresh herbs!
• To make this with Trader Joe's cauliflower gnocchi: make sure your pan has nonstick spray on it and that the gnocchi are not clumped today. You do not need to defrost the gnocchi, but make sure any large pieces of ice or freezer burn are removed. I roast for about 25 to 30 minutes with the TJ's cauliflower gnocchi. The outside may not get quite as crisp and toasty as potato gnocchi.

CRISPY SHEET PAN GNOCCHI WITH SAUSAGE & VEGGIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Set out two large baking sheets. Divide the gnocchi, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes evenly between the two sheets. Add the veggie sausage to one side and the meaty sausage to the other side. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil each. Over each side, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss until gnocchi, sausage, and veggies are evenly coated and the spices and oil distributed. Spread out in a single layer on the cookie sheets to help ensure even roasting and lots of golden browned bits.
• Place in oven. Bake until gnocchi and veggies are beginning to take on some color, 15-20 minutes. Remove, stir, and redistribute in an even layer, and cook until there are more golden bits, the sausage is sizzling, and the veggies are tender, 5-10 more minutes.
• Remove from oven and garnish with parsley and any other fresh herbs if desired.
