Gnocchi with Sausage and Roasted Red Peppers

• 1 lb. dried gnocchi
• 2 oz. cream cheese
• 9 oz. smoked chicken Italian sausage - I used Usinger's Smoked Chicken Italian Sausage with Mozzarella
• 1/3 c. chopped roasted red peppers

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the dried gnocchi, piece by piece, in the water and stir gently until the dumplings float to the top of the pot. Drain well and return to the pot. Add the cream cheese and stir until the cheese is melted.

Slice the sausage into bite-sized coins and add that and the roasted red peppers to the gnocchi. Stir well to combine and serve hot.
