Chicken Sausage & Bell Pepper Gnocchi
with Parmesan Cream Sauce
- Milk
This 20-minute pasta is the gno-key to our heart. Just the thought of pillowy gnocchi cloaked in a dreamy creamy sauce makes us swoon. Add to that some zesty chicken sausage and peppers and we’re on one knee ready to put a ring on this dish! All that’s left to do is throw some scallion greens and Parmesan on the bowl the way you’ll be throwing rice at our wedding. See you at the reception!

Cooking Steps
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage* and bell pepper; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Add scallion whites, garlic, and tomato; cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings), stock concentrate, and cream sauce base. Simmer until saucy, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. • Remove from heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) and half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving) until melted and combined.
• Meanwhile, once water is boiling, add gnocchi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3-4 minutes. Drain.
• Add drained gnocchi to pan with sausage and veggies. Toss until everything is thoroughly coated in sauce. • Divide gnocchi between bowls. Top with scallion greens and remaining Parmesan. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Delicious. Your Chicken Sausage has been delicious in every recipe. The combination with the other ingredients makes it very tasty. Love the cream sauce and the gnocchi turned out perfect and delicious. Another winner!
Wasn't sure how we would like chicken sausage, but it was delicious. And the cream sauce was the perfect complement to the gnocchi. Another hit! Hello Fresh doesn't miss on flavor.
Sooooo good!!! The sauce was so creamy and the bell peppers gave it great flavor. The gnocchi were pillowy and filling. I loved this recipe!
SOOOO GOOD. Husband was unsure of the texture of the gnocchi but a few bites in he said this may take the place of his #1 favorite Hello Fresh meal! Not sure if the chicken sausage has a bit of a kick to it or if I just added too much pepper. But this we will definitely be ordering this again.
I tend to do the same type of meals over and over and this one was so unique/different (for me) and I loved it. The seasoned chicken sausage is just something I don't do a lot of and I loved it paired with the gnocchi and bell peppers. Soooo sooo yummy. Will do this again.
Chicken sausage has great flavor, especially the garlic. Suggestion, add green vegetable to the recipe - possibly fresh green peas before stirring in Parmesan cheese to heat thru. Also, the yellow bell pepper does not enhance the look of the dish. Replace yellow pepper with red one. All cooked ingredients are cream colored and off-white.
Easy to prepare, fresh ingredients, very tasty sauce. My only negative is that the gnocchi were a little sticky and mushy, but still very yummy.
Added the bell pepper closer to the end so it wasn't soggy and cooked the gnocchi about two minutes less than recommended
This is the first time I've used gnocchi in our house. We loved it. Also loved the flavoring of everything together. I like the texture of the chicken sausage and using that instead of pork sausage.
This had great flavor but made way more sauce and the gnocchi swim in it. I ended up making a batch of ravioli and adding it as well so to not waste the sauce. I'm glad I did because I don't think that little amount of gnocchi would have been enough for my boyfriend and I.
