Squeeze out the meat from the sausage skins & roll 5-6 mini meatballs from each sausage. Place to one side.
Pop your gnocchi in salted boiling for 2 mins until they’re just about cooked through & the water is completely cloudy. As soon as the first piece of gnocchi floats to the top, drain in a colander.
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat with a few sage leaves & add your gnocchi. Fry until crispy, shaking frequently. Season with salt & pepper then remove from pan.

Stir in tomato puree, then deglaze with the red wine. Simmer for a few mins to reduce down, then pour in tomatoes. Add a sprig of basil & rosemary, season with salt & pepper, then allow to simmer for 8-12 mins. Once thickened, stir in your Parmesan (add a splash of water if it thickens too much). Serve with crispy gnocchi & extra Parmesan.
