Ingredients
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage or meatless alternative
- 1 -2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, minced
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- one 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and red pepper flakes to taste
- 6 -8 ounces of ricotta cheese
- 1 small clove garlic, grated
- zest and juice of 1 lemon
- salt to taste
- minced herbs to taste (chives, parsley, and/or thyme)
- two 16-ounce packages pre-cooked gnocchi
Steps
-
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the sausage; break apart until well-browned and fully cooked. Remove sausage from the pan. If you want you can drain off excess grease from the pan (I often keep it for extra flavor).
-
Turn the heat down (so you don’t burn the garlic). Add the olive oil, onion, and garlic; sauté for a few minutes over medium low heat until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and oregano. Add sausage back in and simmer over low heat (think of it as a “lazy” simmer) for 30-45 minutes. Taste and season with salt and red pepper flakes.
-
While the sauce is simmering, mix the ricotta ingredients in a small dish. Taste and adjust as you like.
-
Cook gnocchi according to package directions (usually this involves a short boil). Add cooked gnocchi to the pan with the sauce. Bring to a low simmer to get the gnocchi and sauce bubbling and well-coated.
-
Serve hot gnocchi topped with a dollop of herbed ricotta and a generous sprinkling of golden crispies. ✨ Heck to the yes.
