Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a sheet pan, toss together the gnocchi, broccoli, olive oil and garlic until well coated. Season with salt and crushed red pepper, if using. Spread into an even layer. Pinch off pieces of the sausage that are roughly the size of the gnocchi and place them on top of the gnocchi and vegetables. Roast until the sausage and broccoli are golden and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Step 2
Squeeze the lemon half over the top (about 1½ tablespoons juice) and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Stir until the cheese has melted. Serve topped with more Parmesan and crushed red pepper as you like.

@AL if you don’t like gnocchi, don’t read or comment on gnocchi recipes.
Really good... added some cherry tomatoes on the pan for last 10 minutes. This made everything a little saucier as they blistered and broke down.
This recipe is brilliant! I use turkey Italian sausage, and also add onion and Brussels sprouts. You don't even have to cook the gnocchi, which is BRILLIANT (though I DO cut them in half, as they're rather large!). I crumble the bacon over all of it at the end, after it's all caramelized and gorgeous, and sprinkle with an Italian cheese blend, then throw it under the broiler for a minute, until it's lightly browned and bubbly! This is a 1-sheetpan meal, and it's sumptuous: all things good!
Add tomatoes!
I used chicken italian sausage and, as others suggested, added sweet potato, onion, and cherry tomatoes. I cooked everything on two sheet pans lined with parchment paper. Easy and excellent!
Tossed gnocchi and broccoli with olive oil in a bowl, then mixed in garlic and red pepper flakes. Spread that out on a greased (I use Pam spray) oversized baking sheet and salted. Put cherry tomatoes and sausage pieces all around. I cooked for 23 minutes and finished with lemon juice and Parmesan. So easy and quite tasty!
