Nutrition: Per serving
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Pinch the sausagement out of the skins and into the pan in small nuggets, discarding the skins. Fry for 8-10 mins until golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, thinly slice the fennel bulb. Scoop the sausage pieces out onto a plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Fry the fennel in the pan over a medium heat with a pinch of salt until soft, adding a drizzle more oil, if needed. Crush or grate in the garlic, and fry for another 2 mins.
Add the gnocchi along with 150ml water, and cook for 4-5 mins until tender. Stir in the mascarpone, soft cheese or cream and squeeze in the lemon juice, then season well. Heat the grill to high.
Stir the crispy sausage pieces back into the pan, then finely grate over the parmesan. Slide under the grill for 6-8 mins until the top is golden and crisp.
