Pesto Gnocchi with Chicken Sausage


Special thanks to Trader Joe's for making this recipe extremely easy to whip together.  I bought the frozen gnocchi and the roasted garlic chicken sausage from TJ's and kind of just made up the recipe over the weekend. The creamy pesto sauce mix can be found at your local grocery store, mine being Publix.

Ingredients:
1 16 oz bag Gnocchi al Gorgonzola
1 cup sliced white mushrooms
1 packet creamy pesto sauce mix
1 12 oz package chicken sausage, sliced
1 cup 2% milk
1/4 cup olive oil


I love these roasted garlic chicken sausages from Trader Joe's and will definitely use them again in the future to create different recipes.


What To Do:
1. Cook gnocchi according the directions on the package.
2. Cook pesto sauce in a small pot with milk and olive oil according to directions on the packet.
3. Combine all ingredients in dutch oven and simmer for 10 minutes or until the mushrooms are fully cooked. The chicken sausage is already fully cooked so it just needs to heat up.


This meal can feed about 4-6 people and takes 20 minutes to prep and cook so I recommend it if you're looking for an easy recipe to whip together for dinner during the week or whenever your strapped for time. 


Enjoy!

    OMG! I am so glad you posted this! I bought those chicken sausages at Trader Joe's last week but they were the apple, maple ones and my family FREAKED OUT! I just put them on a bed of cous cous because I wasn't sure how to make them. You have to try them. I am going to try these - especially now that I have a recipe for them! Yay!
