Italy - Gnocchi with Sausage

Gnocchi is one of those ingredients I'm not very familiar with. I think I've only eaten it once before. It's fairly cheap to buy and can be bought in most supermarkets now.


Ingredients:

1 onion
1 bag gnocchi
8 sausages
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 beef stock cube
1 can tomatoes
1/2 cup mozzarella
1/2 cup parmesan
1 teaspoon black pepper


Dice the onion and saute it in a frying pan until translucent.


Take the sausagemeat out of the sausage casings. Add the sausagemeat to the pan and break up as it cooks.


Add the gnocchi, garlic powder, tomatoes and 1/2 cup of stock.



Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.


Take off the heat. Add the cheeses and the black pepper. Stir well then serve.


It was delicious! Gnocchi is quite filling so along with the sausage this made for a hearty meal. It was incredibly cheesy which isn't a complaint, I love cheese. The gnocchi was fluffy but still had a slight bite to it making it feel a lot like pasta in texture. It made a nice change from a pasta dish. I just wish the ridges on the gnocchi made it look less like giant larva :)
