Gnocchi With Sausage In Vodka Sauce Recipes

RIDICULOUS BAKED GNOCCHI WITH VODKA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large oven-safe pan over medium low heat. Add garlic; sauté for 5 minutes until soft (don't brown it). Add tomato paste; sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add vodka; sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add cream, broth, and salt. Bring to a low simmer until the sauce coats the back of a spoon and tastes delicious. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Prep the gnocchi according to package directions. Add to the sauce in the pan, and stir gently to combine.
• Preheat the oven to the broil setting (500 degrees). Arrange mozzarella balls over the top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Bake for 5-8 minutes until very browned and slightly crisped on top. Sprinkle with parsley or basil leaves and serve with a crisp green salad because DANG this is creamy, cozy, and ridiculous.

GNOCCHI WITH SAUSAGE IN VODKA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage and onion in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in vodka sauce and enough tomato juice until you reached a desired consistency. Stir in mozzarella cheese and spinach.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain.
• Transfer gnocchi to a plate, cover with sauce, and serve.

GNOCCHI WITH VODKA CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the gnocchi: place the potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water. Add salt and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes until they are tender, about 35 minutes. Drain the potatoes. When they are just cool enough to handle, peel them then pass them through a food mill.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour with the egg yolk, cheese and warm potatoes. Work the mixture until it becomes a smooth dough, then incorporate the herbs. Form the dough into 2 balls.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll each ball of dough into a 'rope' about 1/2-inch thick. Cut the 'ropes' into 3/4-inch pieces. Arrange the gnocchi on a lightly floured baking sheet. (You can freeze the gnocchi at this point and use straight from freezer.)
• Shortly before serving, bring a large pot of salted water to boil over high heat. Reduce the heat so the water maintains an active simmer. Working in small batches, drop gnocchi into the water. Cook the gnocchi until they float 3 to 4 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain fully in a colander.
• To make the sauce: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften. Add the vodka, cream, and tomato sauce, and simmer until the flavors blend, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Immediately before serving, add the gnocchi to the sauce and heat, stirring gently to coat. Spoon the gnocchi into warm bowls and serve.
• Puree whole tomatoes without their liquid in a food mill. Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the pureed tomatoes. Add the basil, season with salt and pepper and simmer, stirring frequently until the sauce is concentrated, about 25 minutes. Remove the basil and refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.

GNOCCHI WITH SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside, leaving residual oil in the pan.
• Add mushrooms, onion, and remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until cooked down, about 15 minutes. Return sausage to the skillet; add vodka sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper and allow sauce flavors to meld, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and season with salt and pepper.
• Serve cooked gnocchi with sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

SHRIMP AND GNOCCHI WITH GARLIC PARMESAN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi according to package instructions; drain well. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add shrimp, salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes; set aside. To make the garlic parmesan cream sauce, melt butter in the skillet skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, thyme and basil. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in half and half and Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more half and half as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in shrimp and gnocchi, and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
