Gnocchi With Sausage Meat

Gnocchi , is a sort of potato. Looks like pasta. Is bought ready made fresh in a packet. This is my first time trying them. I have been seeing them for a while in the supermarket, and always made me curious what they would taste like. So I got finally around cooking them. They are very filling, so you will only need a small portion . They go very well with a plain red sauce, but I don't really enjoy my dinners without any sort of meat in them , so for the recipe I bought some  good quality spicy sausages . You could use any type of sausage meat , but I am the sort of person that find s food a bit bland without any spice in it. I like it a little bit of kick to it.
