Method

1.

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning, until cooked through. Drain on paper towel.

Meanwhile, cook gnocchi in a pan of boiling salted water according to packet instructions. Drain, then toss with 2 teaspoons oil.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the cleaned frypan, then cook gnocchi and garlic, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until golden. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Cut sausages on an angle into 2cm slices. Whisk remaining 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar and sugar in a large bowl, season, then toss with gnocchi, sausage and remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.
