Recipe below contains my modifications. 

Ingredients:

~1 T. olive oil

~1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

3 links (12 oz.) hot Italian sausage

3 large garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. dried basil

1/2 tsp. dried thyme

1/2 c. dry white wine

1 1/2 c. (12 oz.) passata

1/3 c. heavy cream

1 package (16 oz.) DeLallo mini gnocchi

1/3 c. grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 

basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

salt and pepper, to taste

 

Directions:

 

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften and become translucent.

 

2. Add the Italian sausage. Cook, breaking up the sausage into crumbles, until sausage is fully cooked.

 

3. Blot out any excess grease with a paper towel, then stir in the garlic.

 

4. Add the oregano, basil, and thyme. Stir together and cook for around a minute or so.

 

5. Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping bottom to loosen the fond. Let cook until wine has nearly evaporated.

 

6. Stir in the passata and bring mixture to a simmer. 

 

7. Lower heat and stir in the heavy cream, followed by the gnocchi. Cover the pan and let simmer for about 5 minutes.

 

8. Stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano, season with salt and pepper, to taste.

 

9. Garnish with fresh basil (if desired), serve, and enjoy!
