Gnocchi with Chorizo & Basil in a Red Wine Sauce


Gnocchi is one of my favorite pasta dishes.  I am always trying to figure out new things to make with it.  I - LOVE - THIS - DISH.  It's spicy, it's delicious and takes very little time to make.  Small effort, big flavor.

Ingredients :

I made this for two people

1 cup of chorizo, crumbled, cooked
1 small red pepper, sliced
1/2 pound of gnocchi.. you can make your own.. but there are very good gnocchi at your local international market
Fresh Basil leaves, chiffonade
1/2 cup red wine
2-3 TB butter

Cook your gnocchi according to directions on package, don't forget to salt the water.  You know the gnocchi is done when they start to float. Set aside,

In a pan with some  olive oil, add crumbled chorizo, saute until half done about 2-3 minutes add red peppers.  Continue to cook about 3-4 minutes. Add gnocchi.  Add butter, stir.  Add the red wine.   Add the fresh basil. Incorporate and coat.  Serve in a dish.

Sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Serve and enjoy every bite !
