Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ pounds sweet Italian sausage links
1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated gnocchi
¼ cup unsalted butter
⅓ cup milk
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Italian cheese blend
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Toss sliced shallot with olive oil in a heavy pot or dutch oven until well coated.
  • Arrange sausages atop shallot mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the sausage is no longer pink in the center, turning sausages occasionally to brown evenly, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  • Transfer sausages to a platter; cover and set aside.
  • Melt butter in the pot used to cook the sausage over medium heat. Stir in milk and bring to a low simmer.
  • Gradually stir in about 3/4 of the Italian cheese blend until melted; reserve the remaining cheese for topping. Remove cheese sauce from heat, stirring occasionally to keep sauce smooth.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the gnocchi at a boil until it floats to the top, about 3 minutes; drain.
  • Serve sausage and gnocchi topped with cheese sauce and sprinkle with reserved cheese and basil.
