Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high. Cook and stir the sausage in the hot skillet until it is crumbly and no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Add the mushrooms, shallots, butter, and oil; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms and shallots are soft and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and simmer until it has reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in the boiling water until the pasta floats to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain.

Add the gnocchi, cream, Italian herbs, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
