Instructions

step 1

Prepare the ingredients & make the base

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Using a damp paper towel, gently brush off any dirt from the mushrooms. In the tray, combine the gnocchi, pesto, cream, mushrooms (tearing into bite-sized pieces before adding), and 2 tablespoons of water. Season with salt and pepper; stir to thoroughly combine.

step 2

Add the sausage & bake the tray

Add the sausage in an even layer on top of the prepared base (tearing into bite-sized pieces before adding). Tightly cover the tray with foil and bake 30 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.

step 3

Add the cheese & serve your dish

Carefully remove the foil; stir to combine. Add the cheese in an even layer (tearing into small pieces before adding). Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sausage is cooked through. Remove from the oven. Let stand at least 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
