Scale
Main Ingredients
- 16 oz Gnocchi (one package)
- 8 oz Sliced Baby Bella mushrooms
- 10 oz Grape tomatoes
- 1 Large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¾ cup Dry white wine (or small can)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 8 oz Jimmy Dean sausage (half a roll), pulled apart into small pieces
- 6 oz Gruyere cheese, shredded
- Balsamic glaze for drizzling
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the gnocchi and vegetables to a crispy, golden finish.
- Prepare Ingredients on Sheet Pan: Add the gnocchi, sliced mushrooms, grape tomatoes, thinly sliced onions, and grated garlic to a large sheet pan, spreading them out evenly for optimal roasting.
- Season and Toss: Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and drizzle olive oil over the ingredients on the pan. Toss everything together thoroughly so the gnocchi and veggies are well coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Add Sausage and Wine: Pull the sausage apart into bite-sized pieces and evenly distribute them over the sheet pan mixture. Pour the dry white wine over the contents, then sprinkle with fresh rosemary for an herbal aroma.
- Roast and Stir: Roast the sheet pan for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking to promote even roasting and to prevent sticking or burning of ingredients.
- Add Cheese and Finish: Remove the pan from the oven and gently toss the ingredients once more. Top everything with the shredded Gruyere cheese, then return to the oven just long enough for the cheese to melt beautifully.
- Serve with Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle the roasted, cheesy gnocchi and sausage mixture with balsamic glaze before serving to add a subtle tangy sweetness that elevates the flavors.
