Sheet Pan Italian Sausage with Gnocchi, Peppers, & Onions

by Erin

Sheet pan Italian sausage doesn’t get any better than when it’s paired with tender gnocchi, sweet peppers, onions, and marinara sauce. Topped with fresh Mozzarella for a delicious weeknight meal.

Not only is this meal ready in just 30 minutes but dude it’s really stinking good.

I have been meaning to replicate a similar meal I had at a local Italian restaurant, Lola & Giuseppe’s, for years – Giuseppe’s gnocchi served with marinara, sweet peppers, onion, and Italian sausage. I’m fairly certain their gnocchi were prepared separately from the topping but who wants to do more dishes? Not me.

One Sheet Pan Italian Sausage with Gnocchi, Peppers, & Onions

Quite literally this entire meal is prepared in one sheet pan. You toss the gnocchi, peppers, and onions in the marinara and oregano right in the pan – no pre-boiling the gnocchi necessary I promise they cook up perfectly this way.

Then the sausage and rosemary are baked right on top. Again no pre-cooking the sausage necessary, they cooked plenty right along with everything else. And then you seal the deal with some mozzarella melted on top for the last few minutes of cooking time.

Better yet, today is National Potato Lovers Day and personally my favorite way to eat potatoes is in gnocchi form. So go ahead and spontaneously add this to your menu tonight. It would also be a great dish to throw together for company.

If you want more one pan/pot meals, you could try my bacon wrapped mustard chicken with broccoli and potatoes or cast iron lemon-rosemary chicken and potatoes, or one pot tortellini with sausage kale and peas.

Sounds good. Should be reasonably OK for my heart healthy diet.

Make it with poultry sausage which usually has less fat than pork, and low fat mozzarella.
