Ingredients

• 500 g Potato gnocchi
• 250 g Italian sausage
• 100 g Arugula (rucola)
• 80 g Sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
• 200 ml Heavy cream
• 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Remove the casing from the Italian sausage and crumble it into the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 4

Add the julienned sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 5

Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Add grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until melted into the sauce. Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes if using. Turn off the heat.

Step 7

Cook the gnocchi in the boiling water according to the package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi directly into the sauce.

Step 8

Toss the gnocchi gently in the sauce to coat evenly. Add the arugula and stir until just wilted.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with additional grated Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
