Method
step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Pinch the sausagement out of the skins and into the pan in small nuggets, discarding the skins. Fry for 8-10 mins until golden and crispy.
step 2
Meanwhile, thinly slice the fennel bulb. Scoop the sausage pieces out onto a plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Fry the fennel in the pan over a medium heat with a pinch of salt until soft, adding a drizzle more oil, if needed. Crush or grate in the garlic, and fry for another 2 mins.
step 3
Add the gnocchi along with 150ml water, and cook for 4-5 mins until tender. Stir in the mascarpone, soft cheese or cream and squeeze in the lemon juice, then season well. Heat the grill to high.
step 4
Stir the crispy sausage pieces back into the pan, then finely grate over the parmesan. Slide under the grill for 6-8 mins until the top is golden and crisp.
