A big hit! I shopped after a big snow storm so ended up with Sweet Italian Sausage. I don’t think it matters! More white wine vs chicken stock. Very rich and creamy. I will make this again.
This recipe is fantastic! My husband does not normally like gnocchi, but he loved this! The only change I made was adding sliced mushrooms. Definitely a meal we will do again!
Flavorful, delicious, I will definitely make again!
Made the recipe exactly as written with the exception of added a splash of red pepper flakes. My husband said, "You can make this again!" So it will be going in our rotation. The sauce is really delicious.
I love this creamy, tasty dish! Super easy to make and reheats wonderfully, which is great for leftovers. I omitted the sausage and added more spinach for a delicious meatless meal.
Will definitely make this again! I used polish sausage, added mushrooms and used frozen spinach. Used only the chicken broth. Everything I had on hand. My pickiest eater loved it. For a cold winter's night, it was a perfect quick meal.
Outstanding! Made the following changes (using pantry items): I used 3 mild Italian turkey sausage links (without the casing-approx. 12 oz), only had 1/4 c white wine so used veggie broth to fill to 1 cup, used approx. 5 oz baby spinach; otherwise followed the recipe. This was easy and delicious. Would definitely make again.
I was really looking forward to this based on the reviews, but no one in the family liked it. To us it lacked flavor.
WOW!!! This was so delicious! I didn't have a lot of experience with gnocchi. They couldn't be easier to cook. I did things a bit differently. I baked Italian sausage, shallots, and garlic in the oven in a roasting pan on a couple of layers of foil. Sausage is so much easier to slice when it's cooked. I then poured the drippings from the pan into the skillet that had the broth/cornstarch and wine in it. We will be eating this meal regularly from now on!
Delicious and so easy. I reduced the cream, added red pepper flakes and grated pecorino romano to the sauce.
