Sheet Pan Gnocchi with Sausage + Veggies
Cook up a filling batch of pasta, meat, and veggies all together on one pan, in this deliciously simple Sheet Pan Gnocchi with Sausage + Veggies dinner recipe!
Servings 4 people
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 oz mushrooms roughly chopped
- 6 oz roughly chopped kale leaves about one bunch, after stripping ribs & stems
- ½ medium yellow onion roughly chopped
- 12-14 oz smoked sausage sliced into half moons
- 16-18 oz gnocchi
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic about 4 cloves
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper omit if sensitive to spice
- Black pepper to taste
- Sea salt to taste
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan
- fresh squeezed lemon juice to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Chop your veggies, slice the sausage, and add the sausage, veggies, and gnocchi to a large bowl.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl. Stir in the olive oil, minced garlic, and spices.
- Drizzle the sausage, gnocchi, and veggies with the melted butter/olive oil mixture, then toss to coat.
- Spread out the sausage, gnocchi, and veggies on the prepared baking sheet. (It will seem crazy full — but kale cooks down crazy much, no worries.)
- Roast at 425 degrees for 25 minutes, stirring and spreading everything back out in a single layer halfway through. Check that the gnocchi have plumped up, and that the veggies are nicely roasted.
- Sprinkle everything with shredded Parmesan and broil for 3 minutes on high to brown the cheese and gnocchi a bit. Brighten everything up by squeezing on fresh lemon juice to taste, then serve.
Notes
I used half basil gnocchi/half cauliflower gnocchi plus chicken sausage here, but mix it up with your own favorites — I’d definitely use regular smoked sausage or Polska kielbasa next time, to amp up that smoky flavor a bit.
