Chicken Sausage Gnocchi w/ blistered tomatoes and kale

As a kid, the most requested meal was this pasta and sausage dish mom used to make. Sauteed caramelized onions and peppers in the juices from the sausage, made every bite my absolute favorite. It is now my sisters favorite and my husbands most requested meal. I wanted to try the same method using what I had already in the fridge. Here we go...
