In a medium to large pot, add olive oil over medium heat. Add italian style sausage and cook until brown, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and onion and cook until onion is tender, 2-3 minutes.
Add chicken broth, heavy cream and sun dried tomatoes and stir until combined. Add gnocchi, turn heat to low, cover pot and cook until gnocchi is tender, 3-4 minutes.
When the gnocchi is soft and tender, take off the lid and add parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Stir until combined. Serve and top with fresh arugula (optional). Enjoy!
