Sausage Gnocchi Bake - Fab Food 4 All

If you love tasty, gooey, cheesy, delicious comfort food then I’m sure you’re going to love this Sausage Gnocchi Bake from Dean Edwards and Bacofoil.

I don’t cook with gnocchi nearly often enough which is daft as I really like it so when I was asked if I’d like to make this recipe I jumped at the chance.

I have to say the Bacofoil Non-Stick Kitchen Foil worked a treat with this dish as nothing stuck to it at all, no more glued on food residue with this great kitchen aid!

I don’t know about you, but soaking pans to wash late at night is a job I could do without!

Sausage Gnocchi Bake - Fab Food 4 All

So back to the Sausage Gnocchi Bake, I put a teaspoon of hot sauce in ours (Dean says it’s optional) which made the dish quite hot, it’s amazing how a little goes a long way!

My daughter said she enjoyed the heat (not always a fan of hot things) but if you were making it for small children I think you would leave the hot sauce out.

The dish was quite filling so I think you could easily get 5 portions out of it especially if you have a young family.

As the nights get colder I think this really is a great comforting meal to feed the family. I’m off to think of some more uses for this ingenious foil now!

You can watch Dean making a slightly different version here using chorizo!

The Non-Stick Bacofoil keeps the sausages warm and forms a tent around the bake whilst cooking.

    Wow, this looks amazing! I’ve never made anything with gnocchi; it’s not something I’m terribly familiar with. It does sound like exactly the kind of thing I’d like, though, so I really should give it a try.

    I think that gnocci bakes are vastly under rated. I love gnocchi and use it as often as pasta. Lovely recipe.
