Heat the olive oil in a large (10-12-inch) skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, but not browned, about 3 minutes.
Add the red pepper and sun-dried tomatoes, stirring to blend with the onions, and cook about 1 minute. Add the sausage and turn the heat up to medium-high. Cook the sausage, stirring frequently, until it's no longer pink on the surface, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the gnocchi until they're evenly dispersed with the sausage. Pour in the broth and add ½ teaspoon salt. Bring the broth to a simmer, then lower the heat and cover the pan. Cook until the gnocchi are puffed and the sausage is cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Stir once or twice during the process to ensure the gnocchi aren't sticking to the pan.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese and basil. Transfer to a serving platter or serve from the skillet.
