• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 8 pork sausages ( or sausages of your choice )
• ½ red chilli , finely chopped
• ½ onion , finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves , finely chopped
• 400g can chopped tomatoes
• 500g gnocchi
• 50g Parmesan or Pecorino , grated , plus extra to serve
1 Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil . Remove the sausages from their skins and break the meat into small chunks in the pan . Use the back of a wooden spoon to further break the meat into small pieces , then cook for 2 minutes until golden brown and semi-crispy . 2 Add the chilli , onion , garlic , and a pinch of salt to the pan . Cook for 2-3 minutes , then stir in the chopped tomatoes and let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes . 3 Meanwhile , cook the gnocchi in a pot of salted boiling water until they float to the surface , indicating they are ready . 4 Use a slotted spoon to transfer the gnocchi directly from the water to the sausage and tomato sauce , adding a generous ladle of the gnocchi cooking water . Stir in the grated cheese and toss everything together . Adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more cooking water if needed . 5 Serve the gnocchi with a crack of black pepper and a sprinkle of additional grated cheese .
