Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven on low broil.

* Step 2

Bring medium pot of salted water to a boil.

* Step 3

Break up gnocchi by hand and add to boiling water. Cook per package directions (usually about 3 to 4 minutes). Drain and reserve one cup of the pasta water. Do not overcook or they get mushy.

* Step 4

While preparing the gnocchi, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and onion to medium (preferably oven proof) pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until softened. About 3 to 4 minutes.

* Step 5

Add sausage, garlic, and Italian seasoning to pan with onions. Break up sausage and cook until sausage is browned. About 4 to 5 minutes.

* Step 6

Stir in diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Add another pinch of salt and pepper. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes.

* Step 7

Once gnocchi is drained. Add cream cheese, 3/4 cup of the reserved pasta water, and 2 tbsp butter to pan with sausage. Reduce heat to medium and stir until well combined.
