Ingredients
1 (12- to 18-ounce) package shelf-stable potato gnocchi
1 large head broccoli (about 1 pound), florets cut into 1½- to 2-inch pieces, stems thinly sliced
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
Salt
Crushed red pepper (optional)
1 pound hot or sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
¼ cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
½ lemon
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a sheet pan, toss together the gnocchi, broccoli, olive oil and garlic until well coated. Season with salt and crushed red pepper, if using. Spread into an even layer. Pinch off pieces of the sausage that are roughly the size of the gnocchi and place them on top of the gnocchi and vegetables. Roast until the sausage and broccoli are golden and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Step 2
Squeeze the lemon half over the top (about 1½ tablespoons juice) and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Stir until the cheese has melted. Serve topped with more Parmesan and crushed red pepper as you like.

@AL if you don’t like gnocchi, don’t read or comment on gnocchi recipes.
Really good... added some cherry tomatoes on the pan for last 10 minutes. This made everything a little saucier as they blistered and broke down.
This recipe is brilliant! I use turkey Italian sausage, and also add onion and Brussels sprouts. You don't even have to cook the gnocchi, which is BRILLIANT (though I DO cut them in half, as they're rather large!). I crumble the bacon over all of it at the end, after it's all caramelized and gorgeous, and sprinkle with an Italian cheese blend, then throw it under the broiler for a minute, until it's lightly browned and bubbly! This is a 1-sheetpan meal, and it's sumptuous: all things good!
used a couple of tablespoons of chicken broth along with the lemon juice to deglaze them at the end and added some cherry tomatoes on the pan for last 10 minutes. Made for a little more sauce use peppers and onions
Finely grated garlic is key to this dish - it adds a delicious punchy complexity without much effort. I also add a boatload of mushrooms to cook down and it’s a huge hit in my house.
This is a hit whenever I make it! I substitute the Italian sausage for chicken sausage. I also have added red onion and tomatoes. A special extra thing to add is a balsamic drizzle when serving! Love this recipe.
