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.
