Today I bring you an all-in-one, quick, and satisfying recipe that will save any weeknight lunch or dinner: gnocchi with sausage and mushrooms, all cooked in a single pan. The best part is that the gnocchi cook directly in the broth, soaking up all the rich flavors from the sautéed base.

It is such a practical meal to prep ahead during your batch cooking sessions and enjoy simple homemade cooking with Cocinandomelavida.

Tips and tricks

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and eat within 2 to 3 days.

I do not recommend freezing this dish, as the texture of both the gnocchi and the mushrooms changes once thawed.

Pair with a crisp green salad for a balanced, complete meal.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to boil the gnocchi in water first?

No, you add them directly to the pan uncooked so they simmer right in the broth, absorbing all the pan flavors.

What kind of sausages can I use?

You can use fresh chicken, turkey, or pork sausages, sliced into rounds or crumbled according to your taste.

How should I store leftovers?

Keep them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of broth or water to bring back their tender texture.
