Nick Tenuta’s Sheet Pan Gnocchi with Italian Sausage, Roasted Tomatoes & Pesto Recipe

  • 4 Links Greenridge Naturals Sausage (fully cooked)
  • 1 package potato gnocchi
  • 1 small container of baby tomatoes
  • 2–3 tbsp Tenuta’s Homemade Pesto Sauce
  • Grated Italian cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino Romano)
  • Optional: Fresh basil or a drizzle of balsamic glaze to finish

Indicates item can be purchased at Tenuta’s.

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the sausage and tomatoes:
    • Slice Greenridge Naturals Sausage (fully cooked), into rounds or half-moons.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the gnocchi (uncooked), baby tomatoes, and sausage with a light drizzle of olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Add the flavor: Toss with Tenuta’s Homemade Pesto Sauce.
  5. Roast it up: Spread the mixture evenly on the sheet pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping once halfway. Gnocchi will crisp up, tomatoes will blister, and sausage will brown to perfection.
  6. Top it off: Shower it with freshly grated cheese and garnish with fresh basil or a balsamic drizzle for that final Italian touch.

Serves 4.

Pro Tip: Pair it with a fresh loaf of bread, a bottle of Italian wine, and a little Frank Sinatra playing in the background—and you’ve got yourself a perfect night in.
