Method
- Heat the oven to 200C, gas 6. Remove the sausages from their skins and chop into small pieces.
- Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan, add the sausage and cook for 5-6 mins, stirring all the time to ensure it breaks up.
- Add the chopped fennel and gently fry for 5 mins, until lightly softened. Stir through the fennel seeds and chilli flakes. Tip in the gnocchi and mix well, then spoon into a shallow baking dish and pour over the stock.
- In a small bowl, mix together the herbs with the breadcrumbs and most of the cheese, then scatter over the gnocchi. Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 15 mins until golden and bubbling.
