Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the sausages

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil for the gnocchi.

  • Pat the sausages dry with a paper towel; prick in a few places with a fork if desired.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes, then cut on the diagonal into ¼-inch-thick slices. Wipe out the pan.

When the sausages are almost finished cooking, prepare the gnocchi.

2

Cook the gnocchi

Separate the gnocchi so they don’t stick together during cooking. Add the gnocchi to the pot of boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the gnocchi, reserving the cooking water. Return the gnocchi to the pot and toss with 2 to 4 tablespoons cooking water to prevent sticking; cover to keep warm. 

While the gnocchi is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.

3

Prep the remaining ingredients; make the sauce

  • Cut the zucchini in quarters lengthwise, then cut into bite-size pieces.
  • Strip the basil leaves from the stems; tear the leaves into small pieces for garnish.

In the same pan used for the sausages, if dry, add 1 tablespoon oil. Warm over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the zucchini, season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the marinara and bring to a simmer. Stir in the roasted red peppers and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the gnocchi and sausages and cook, stirring to coat in the sauce, until heated through, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the gnocchi pomodoro to individual bowls, crumble over the ricotta salata, and serve.
