Bring plenty of salted water to the boil in a wide pot. In the meantime knead the dumpling dough with ricotta and 2⁄3 frozen herbs. Form into rolls of approx. 3 cm Ø and cut into approx. 2 cm thick pieces. Cook gnocchi in portions in boiling salted water for about 2 minutes.
When they float to the surface, lift them out with a skimmer and let them drain. Wash fresh herbs and shake dry. Pluck off leaves and chop finely. Cut chives into small rolls.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Fry the onion sausage in it until crumbly. Season with pepper, paprika and a little salt. Stir in tomato paste, sweat briefly and deglaze with 1⁄4 l water and cream. Stir in remaining frozen herbs, bring to the boil. Stir in chopped herbs and gnocchi, warm up briefly. Season to taste and serve.
