Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. Italian sausage, hot or mild casings removed, if necessary and cut/torn into small pieces (See Note 1)
  • 3 bell peppers, any color or a combination of colors cut into small chunks
  • 1 zucchini cut into small chunks
  • 10 oz. grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt or kosher salt more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 16 oz. package pre-made potato gnocchi
  • 1 handful fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • lots of fresh Parmesan cheese!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • On a large rimmed baking sheet or large baking dish, add peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, Italian sausage, olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through.
  • While the sausage and vegetables are baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the top, about 4 minutes.
  • Once the sausage is fully cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn on the broiler. Using a slotted spoon, add the cooked gnocchi to the sausage and vegetables. Place the pan under the broiler for 5 minutes or until the gnocchi is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with lots of Parmesan cheese and fresh basil! Serve warm.
