CHEESY GNOCCHI AND SAUSAGE SKILLET

CHEESY GNOCCHI AND SAUSAGE SKILLET — Tender gnocchi pasta with Italian sausage and cheese cooks up in one skillet for a quick and easy meal!

This meal was a huge hit with my family, and it’s no wonder, seeing as it’s loaded with pasta, Italian sausage and cheese. It’s amazingly hearty and there wasn’t one bite left over.

I served it with a green salad and some garlic bread and everyone left the table happy. My husband and boys are already asking me to make it again.
