How to Make Sheet Pan Gnocchi Dinner

Step 1: Roast the Vegetables and Kielbasa

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). On a large sheet pan, toss together the gnocchi, kielbasa, cherry tomatoes, diced bell peppers, sliced red onion, and 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Spinach Sauce

While the vegetables and kielbasa are roasting, make the sauce. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat. Simmer until the cream reduces by half. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard until a thick sauce forms. Add the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble and Serve

Remove the sheet pan from the oven and drizzle the creamy spinach sauce over the roasted vegetables and kielbasa. Toss gently to combine. Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your vegetables, kielbasa, and cheese, the better the flavor of the dish.
Don’t overcrowd the pan: Make sure the vegetables and kielbasa have enough space on the sheet pan to roast properly. If necessary, use two sheet pans.
Adjust the spice level: If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetables while roasting.
