Description
This delicious baked gnocchi dish combines the flavors of Italian sausage, broccolette, and fresh lemon for a delightful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cloves garlic (finely minced)
- 1 package potato gnocchi (17 oz)
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 lemons (zested)
- 12 oz Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 bunch broccolette (cut into 2″ pieces)
- ⅓ cup parmesan (fresh grated)
- 1 pinch Aleppo pepper (red pepper flakes)
Instructions
- Place the oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 400℉.
- Toss minced garlic cloves, gnocchi, olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper on a cookie sheet to combine. Create a little open space on one side.
- Finely grate zest of 2 lemons over gnocchi and set aside lemons for serving.
- Pinch off 1″ pieces of the Italian sausage and add to the baking sheet. Place in the oven. Bake, tossing halfway through to evenly coat everything in oil again, until sausage and gnocchi are browned and crisp, about 30-35 minutes.
- Add the broccolette to the baking sheet and toss with tongs, drizzling a touch more oil if needed. Bake until broccoli is tender, 8-10 minutes more.
- Remove gnocchi mixture from oven and squeeze a little lemon juice and parmesan and pepper over the top, toss and enjoy.
Notes
- This dish is best served immediately after baking for optimal texture and flavor.
- Feel free to adjust the spice level by choosing mild or spicy sausage.
