- 1 lb store-bought potato gnocchi do not use fresh made, it will be too delicate

- ⅛ cup fresh basil chopped

In a pan on medium heat, sauté the sausage and garlic. Break up the sausage with a spatula and cook until browned, 5-7 minutes.
Add vodka to pan, let sizzle and cook off a bit for one minute.
Add gnocchi, crushed tomatoes, cream, basil, and oregano to the pan. Stir to mix.
Bring to a simmer and cover.
