This was very good and easily tweaked. I only had a small amount of asparagus to harvest, and used a 16 oz package of sweet turkey Italian sausage links. I used a 4 oz container of feta since that is what I had on hand. Very good recipe.
This is a lovely dish. Fairly quick to assemble and prepare. I enjoy all the combined flavors and is great for leftovers.
Unfortunately I doubled the recipe. I bought high-quality gnocchi, and high-quality goat cheese, both of which are pretty expensive. I don't usually care for goat cheese but after reading the reviews seemed like I should use it since reviewers said it really makes the sauce. I was serving at a party for 12...... and had a LOT left. No one cared for it. My husband and I did not like it and after giving some to my MIL (since I had So Much left) she didn't like it either. I threw most of it away.
This was SO yummy! I loved the fresh crunch of the asparagus paired with the sausage and gnocchi. I used a feta & spinach chicken sausage and I think that actually added to the flavor. I was afraid at first that the 2 tsp of dried basil would be too much but it turned out well! I used the white wine and served more of the already-open bottle with the meal. I also omitted the mushrooms (personal choice). Unfortunately the gnocchi I picked up wasn't of the highest quality, so it brought down the taste a bit. Despite that, it was still so delicious. With a better quality gnocchi, this is going to be amazing. Loved it, I'm definitely going to make this one again.
Yummy!!
I have made this recipe many times and it is always a hit. It's so easy and quick
Delicious! So good it doesn't even NEED the chicken sausage. Would be a delicious meatless meal without it.
Loved it! I was kind of wary of goat cheese (I don't know that I'd ever had it), but it ends up making the sauce super creamy and delicious! This is going into my regular rotation of dinner meals.
This has become a go-to meal for me. I love how quick and easy it is. Great for a weeknight. And I love the creamy goat cheese! The only modification I make is to remove the chicken sausage from the casing before cooking for a more crumbled texture.
One of the best meals I have ever made!!
