Sardianian Sausage Tomato Sauce & Ciccione (Gnocchi)

I watched Celebrity Chef Lidia Bastianich making this dinner on her PBS television cooking show, very recently. I couldn't find her recipe, on the internet, but I managed to figure out how to make it-- and we loved it. The tomato sauce is very simple to make, with a nice "kick" from red pepper flakes and Italian sausage. The sardinian gnocchi was my first attempt at making any kind of pasta, from scratch. It was super simple to make-- each golden "nugget" is a dumpling (gnocchi) made with semolina flour, water and saffron (for color). They're a little time-consuming, but easy enough for kids to do. We loved this dish, and I hope that my interpretation will do both Lidia and fellow Sardinians proud, as this was my first (but not last) time making this dish. I will be posting how to make this delicious dinner on my food blog.
