Notes

*If you are using chicken or turkey sausage, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the pan while sauteing.

*Don't want to turn on the oven? You can simply cover and simmer on medium-low heat for the same amount of time until the gnocchi is tender. You would still have to broil the top to brown if desired.
