Gnocchi With Sausage and Peas
Categories: Pork

Another quick and easy one-pan dish.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons (split into 1 tablespoon and 2 tablespoons) extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
  • 1 (12- to 18-ounce) package shelf-stable potato gnocchi
  • 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed.  (Or substitute diced ham.)
  • 2 cups/10 ounces (or one package) frozen peas, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup water
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
  • Salt and pepper

Directions:

Step 1

In a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Break up any stuck-together gnocchi and add to the skillet in an even layer. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until the gnocchi are golden brown underneath and unstuck from skillet, 2 to 4 minutes. Cook, stirring, until crisp on both sides, another 2 to 3 minutes. If the gnocchi are burning instead of browning or the skillet looks dry, add more oil. Transfer to a bowl or plate.

Step 2

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet, still over medium-high. Add the sausage and break into small pieces. Cook, undisturbed, until sausage is browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir and cook until the sausage is cooked through, another 2 to 4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the peas, mustard and ½ cup water and scrape up the browned bits on the skillet. (It may not look like a lot of liquid, but the peas will release some as they cook.) Simmer for 4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the browned gnocchi and the Parmesan; stir until the cheese has melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Serve topped with more Parmesan as desired.
