Ingredients for gnocchi with asparagus and sausage

If you want to make the gnocchi at home instead of buying them ready-made, HERE you can choose the ones you prefer; there are recipes for all tastes.

18 oz potato gnocchi (ready-made)
1 sausage
9 oz asparagus
1 shallot (large)
extra virgin olive oil
salt
black pepper

Tools

1 Pan
1 Pot
1 Slotted spoon

Preparation of gnocchi with asparagus and sausage

Peel the sausage and break it into coarse crumbs with a fork.
Cook it in a pan with a drizzle of oil until well browned, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Clean the asparagus by removing the woody part of the stalks, wash them, separate the tips from the stalks, and cut the latter into pieces.
In the same pan where the sausage was browned, heat a few more tablespoons of oil and sauté the finely chopped shallot. When it begins to turn golden, add the asparagus (stalks and tips), a generous pinch of salt, a grind of pepper, and a couple of tablespoons of hot water.
Cook for a few minutes, then also add the sausage.
Meanwhile, dip the gnocchi in salted boiling water and remove them with a slotted spoon as they float back to the surface.
Transfer them directly into the pan with the sauce and gently mix to perfectly combine all the ingredients without breaking the gnocchi. If the sauce is too dry, add a few tablespoons of gnocchi cooking water.
Divide the gnocchi with asparagus and sausage among individual plates, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, and serve immediately, piping hot. Enjoy! Paola
