Ingredients

  • 500 g Gnocchi - shop bought
  • 300 g Sausages - vegan (6 sausages), cut into chunks
  • 200 g Broccoli
  • 3 Tomatoes - chopped into eighths
  • 3 cloves Garlic - peeled
  • 4 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Fresh parsley - to sprinkle
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pan of water to a boil and simmer the gnocchi for about 3 minutes or until they bob to the surface. Remove to drain using a slotted spoon, but retaining the water in the pan.
  • Add the broccoli to the pan of gnocchi water and cook until just tender. Chop into large chunks. Set to one side.
  • Meanwhile, gently heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the cloves of garlic whole. They will gently fragrance the oil.
  • After 5 minutes, add the chopped sausage to the garlic oil. Turn up the heat and fry until the sausage is browned and toasty. Remove the sausage from the pan using a slotted spoon.
  • Add the gnocchi to garlic oil and fry until it turns golden brown and crisp.
  • Add the chopped tomato and broccoli and seasoning.
  • Cook for a couple of minutes until the tomato has softened.
  • Now add the sausage back to the pan and add a splash or two of hot water to the dish. This will help bring all the flavours together.
  • Taste for seasoning and cook for another couple of minutes.
  • Serve sprinkled with a little chopped parsley.
