This is the kind of dinner you make when you want something hot and filling, but don’t want to stand at the stove for long. Everything cooks in one pan, the flavors build on their own, and it feels like more effort than it actually is.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice the sausages into thick rounds.
- Heat the olive oil in a wide pan and brown the sausage pieces until well colored.
- Add the onion and cook until soft, then stir in the garlic.
- Pour in the stock and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Add the gnocchi directly to the pan and let it cook in the liquid, stirring occasionally.
- Once the gnocchi is tender and the sauce thickens slightly, add the kale.
- Cook just until the kale wilts, then stir in the butter.
- Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili flakes if using.
- Serve straight from the pan.
Typical mistakes to avoid
Don’t rush the browning of the sausages — that’s where most of the flavor comes from.
Avoid overcooking the kale; it should stay soft but still green, not dull and mushy.
