In a medium stockpot, fill half way with water and bring to a boil over high heat

While water is coming to a boil, brown sausage over high heat in a large saucepan or skillet

If there is grease, drain the grease, rinse the sausage and return the sausage to the pan

Over medium low heat, add the jar of sauce

When the water is boiling, add gnocchi and boil until gnocchi floats to the top – about 2-3 minutes

Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water

Drain the gnocchi and add to the sausage and sauce

Add the reserved cooking water and stir

Stir in the parmesan cheese

Sprinkle fresh basil on top
