Combine the gnocchi, diced squash, Brussels sprouts, and onion on a large sheet pan. Make sure everything is spread out so they can roast evenly.

Break the sausage link casings and distribute bite-sized pieces over the vegetable mixture.
Roast the mixture in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the gnocchi is plump and crispy, the sausage is browned, and the veggies are tender.
Serve by dividing everything into bowls. Top with burrata cheese and drizzle with pesto for extra flavor.
