Growing up I enjoyed a book called “Six Ingredients or Less” which - you guessed it - featured recipes that used only six ingredients or less. Do you have a killer recipe or two that fits this theme?

Spices (dried or fresh) don’t count. Bonus points if it is at least somewhat healthy.

    Gnocchi Skillet with Chicken Sausage & Tomatoes from The Kitchn

    • 1 pound frozen or shelf-stable gnocchi
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 9 ounces cooked chicken sausage (~3 links; garlicky or jalapeno is a plus imo) , sliced into 1/4-inch-thick coins
    • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise
    • 1 to 2 ounces fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced (1/2 to 1 cup loosely packed)
    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
    • Add the gnocchi and cook for 2 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and toss with a drizzle of olive oil.
    • Heat a 10-inch or larger cast iron skillet over medium heat with a light drizzle of olive oil.
    • Add the sausages and cook until it begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Push the sausages into a pile at the edge of the skillet and turn the heat up to high.
    • When the skillet is quite hot, add the tomatoes, skin down, crowding them in if necessary.
    • Cook until they are blistered, 1 to 2 minutes.
    • Stir in the sausage and cook until both tomatoes and sausage are slightly browned, about 2 minutes more.
    • Stir in gnocchi and cook just until all is combined, but the tomatoes have not broken down into sauce.
    • Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the basil.
    • Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
