Prep: 10 min · Cook: 25 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Stovetop

Ingredients

• 1 lb italian sausage
• 16 oz shelf-stable potato gnocchi
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp fresh sage
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and the center reaches 160°F (71°C), about 7 to 9 minutes. (about 9 min) — Medium-high heat
2. Add the garlic and sage, then cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. (about 0.5 min) — Medium heat
3. Stir in the pumpkin puree, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. (about 2 min) — Medium heat
4. Add the gnocchi and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are tender and the sauce lightly thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes. (about 7 min) — Gentle simmer
5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream. Cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes; do not boil. (about 2 min) — Low heat
6. Remove from the heat and serve with Parmesan cheese.
