Ingredients

1 pound sweet Italian sausage, removed from casings and crumbled
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 14-ounce cans cherry tomatoes
One 17.5-ounce package potato gnocchi
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Instructions

1. Heat your oven to 425F (220C).

2. On a sheet pan, combine the sausage, oregano, red pepper flakes, garlic, bell peppers, onion, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Spread the cherry tomatoes over the mixture and gently shake the pan a few times to evenly distribute everything. Roast until the sausage is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender, about 18 to 20 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, toss the gnocchi with Parmesan, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

4. Switch the oven to broil. Spread the gnocchi over the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture, then broil until the gnocchi develops a deep golden crust, about 3 to 5 minutes. Serve by dividing among 4 plates and sprinkle with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese.
