CREAMY SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM GNOCCHI SKILLET



Creamy Sausage and Mushroom Gnocchi Skillet image

This is a comforting dish and is indulgent with ingredients like wine, cream, and shallots. I do not recommend adding salt because I find the sausage to have enough salt in it. Although cheese is optional, I find it gets lost in the sauce.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 Italian-style turkey sausages, casings removed
4 ounces portobello mushrooms, coarsely chopped
2 shallots, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (18 ounce) package potato gnocchi
½ cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
1 ½ cups heavy cream
½ teaspoon Italian herbs (such as cantanzaro herbs from Savory Spice Shop®)
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium high heat and cook sausage until no longer pink, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 7 minutes. Continue to brown the meat and add mushrooms, shallots, butter, and oil. Cook until mushrooms and onions are soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Add white wine to the sausage mixture and simmer, uncovered, until wine has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add gnocchi, cream, Italian herbs, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat until sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of gnocchi. For this recipe, it's best to use a soft, pillowy gnocchi that will hold its shape when cooked. Avoid using a dry or dense gnocchi, as it will not cook evenly and may become mushy.
  • Cook the gnocchi properly. Gnocchi is best cooked in a large pot of boiling salted water. Do not overcrowd the pot, as this will prevent the gnocchi from cooking evenly. Once the gnocchi floats to the top of the water, it is done cooking.
  • Brown the sausage. Before adding the sausage to the skillet, be sure to brown it over medium heat. This will help to develop the flavor of the sausage and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Use a good quality marinara sauce. The marinara sauce is an important part of this dish, so be sure to use a good quality sauce that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Add vegetables to your liking. This recipe is easily customizable, so feel free to add vegetables that you enjoy. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini.

This creamy gnocchi and sausage skillet is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great dish to serve to guests, as it is both delicious and impressive.
