A delightful and comforting dish of gnocchi tossed in a rich brown butter and sage sauce, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces fresh gnocchi
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10 fresh sage leaves
  • Salt to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, usually 2-3 minutes. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook it until it begins to foam and turns a light golden brown, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the fresh sage leaves to the browned butter, cooking until crispy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gently add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet, tossing to coat in the brown butter and sage sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.
  5. Transfer the gnocchi to serving plates, topping with grated Parmesan and seasoning with salt to taste.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh sage. Adjust the seasoning after adding cheese, as it can increase saltiness.
