Creamy Tuscan Sausage with Gnocchi
Recipe Information
Method
- The day before, thaw precooked turkey sausage links under refrigeration at <40'F/4'C.
- Preheat the convection oven to 400'F/200'C.
- Once thawed, place the turkey sausages into a food processor/blitzer and mince to a ground consistency. Chill <40'F/4'C until later step.
- Drain and finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes.
- In a large bowl, mix the dry gnocchi (uncooked), minced sausage, minced garlic, chicken broth, whipping cream, lemon juice, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Add the baby spinach and the sun-dried tomatoes. Gently toss the ingredients together.
- Grease 2" deep insert pan(s) and transfer the sausage gnocchi mixture into the pan(s). Cover with lid/foil. Place in preheated oven and bake for ~20-30 minutes until the gnocchi is tender. Ensure the internal temperature reaches >165'F/74'C for at least 15 seconds and the sauce is thickened.
- Serve 250 ml (228 g/8 oz) per serving using 8 oz spoodle. Garnish with dried or fresh parsley and additional parmesan cheese if desired.
