Preparation Time 10 minutes
Cooking Time 30 minutes

• 1 pack ready-made gnocchi
• 45ml butter
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 250g mushrooms, halved or sliced
• 4 to 8 courgettes, sliced
• 10ml flour
• 250ml milk (or half milk, half cream)
• 500g pack sausage (we used lamb sausage)
• Parmesan and fresh basil, to serve

1 Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the garlic and mushrooms. Sauté for 3 minutes, then add the courgettes. Sauté for another 3 minutes.
2 Stir in the flour, then add the milk a little at a time, stirring well after each addition. Remove from the heat.
3 Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Remove the sausages from their casings and break into small pieces. Add to the frying pan and stir to brown well. Reduce the heat and fry for 2 minutes or until cooked. Stir into the vegetables and season to taste.
4 Cook the gnocchi according to the pack instructions. Remove with a slotted spoon and dish up into bowls. Top with the sausage and vegetable mixture. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan and fresh basil.
