Ingredients
8 ounces ricotta cheese gnocchi
2 cups broccoli florets
1 teaspoon butter
2 tablespoons diced onion, divided
1 tablespoon minced garlic, divided
2 chicken sausage links (such as Aidells®), sliced
½ cup butter
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain.
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon onion and 1 teaspoon garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add sausage; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in broccoli.
Melt 1/2 cup butter in another skillet. Add remaining 1 tablespoon onion, 2 teaspoons garlic, and flour; cook and stir until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in gnocchi.
Combine sausage mixture and gnocchi mixture; season with salt and pepper.
