Creamy Sausage and Mushroom Gnocchi Skillet

This creamy sausage gnocchi is a comforting, indulgent dish with ingredients like wine, cream, and shallots. I do not recommend adding salt because I find the sausage has enough salt. Although cheese is optional, I find it gets lost in the sauce.

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

3 Italian-style turkey sausages, casings removed
4 ounces portobello mushrooms, coarsely chopped
2 shallots, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
1 (18 ounce) package potato gnocchi
1 ½ cups heavy cream
½ teaspoon Italian herbs (such as cantanzaro herbs from Savory Spice Shop®)
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste (Optional)
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until crumbly and no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Add mushrooms, shallots, butter, and oil; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms and shallots are soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in white wine and simmer until wine has reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in boiling water until pasta floats to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain.
Add gnocchi, cream, Italian herbs, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat until sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.

Tips

You can use homemade gnocchi in place of packaged gnocchi.

Buckwheat Grissini with Real Butter (Gluten Free)

Crunchy, thin breadsticks made with buckwheat flour and butter to give your appetizers or salads a new twist. Grissini are long, crunchy breadsticks from Torino, usually made with lard or oil. The butter lends a soft interior and a crunchy exterior while bursting with a creamy, buttery flavor. These are perfect for serving with prosciutto, olives, and your favorite cheeses, or just on their own. They are so easy to make. You can make them at the last minute but they also store well, so they can even be made a few days ahead of time. If there are leftovers, do not put them in an airtight container. Wrap them in a cloth or parchment paper for a day or two. The crunchier they are, the better.
