Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the sausage until browned.
  3. Add the marinara sauce and Italian seasoning to the skillet, stirring to combine.

  5. Combine the cooked gnocchi with the sausage mixture in the skillet.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Use fresh gnocchi for a softer texture. Choose sweet or spicy Italian sausage based on your preference. Allowing the dish to cool slightly helps it set.
