Cooking Steps
- Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings). Preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
- Rough chop parsley.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To a large bowl, add sausage, half the garlic puree and half the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
- On the prepared baking sheet, arrange meatballs. Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min or until browned and cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then mirepoix.
- Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- To the pan, add crushed tomatoes and remaining garlic puree.
- Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, to the boiling water, add gnocchi. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until tender and pillowy. Reserve 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) pasta water.
- Strain and return gnocchi to the pot, off heat.
- To the pan with sauce, add 1/2 cup (1 cup) reserved pasta water, meatballs and gnocchi. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. (NOTE: For a thinner sauce, continue adding reserved pasta water 1/4 cup at a time until you reach desired consistency).
- Divide gnocchi and meatballs between bowls.
- Sprinkle with parsley and remaining Parmesan.
