"The perfect comforting dish for when you are short on time, this baked gnocchi relies on store bought gnocchi, but of course you could make your own to “level” it up. You could serve this with a side salad or some roasted vegetables."

Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F. Pluck basil leaves from stems. Remove the casings from the sausage and discard, then roughly chop sausage. In a frying pan, add some oil and sauté the gnocchi until golden brown on both sides.
