One Pot Creamy Sausage Gnocchi is a flavorful dinner that’s made entirely in one pot. This easy dinner recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make.
This one pot creamy sausage gnocchi takes a few simple ingredients and turns them into a restaurant-quality dinner less than 30 minutes. The gnocchi makes a great alternative to the usual one skillet pasta recipes.
To round out the meal, I highly recommend serving this with a green salad and with some crusty bread to sop up any remaining sauce.
