🥗Healthier: chicken sausage

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Pork sausage is generally cheaper and still flavorful.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil.

In a large pan over medium heat, cook the sliced chorizo until it releases its flavorful oils and turns crispy and golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper until soft and fragrant.

Add the can of diced tomatoes, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper to the pan. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors.

Boil the potato gnocchi according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them and add to the tomato sauce, gently stirring to coat the gnocchi evenly.

Transfer the saucy gnocchi mixture into the greased baking dish.

Sprinkle the crispy chorizo on top, followed by a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Garnish the bake with fresh basil leaves before serving.
