Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 15 fresh sage leaves
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Cook the Gnocchi: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add a generous amount of salt. Once boiling, add the gnocchi. They are done when they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- 2. Brown the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until bubbly and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
- 3. Add Sage: Add fresh sage leaves to the skillet. Fry for 1-2 minutes until crispy and fragrant.
- 4. Combine Gnocchi and Butter: Carefully add the cooked gnocchi into the skillet with browned butter and sage. Toss gently to coat.
- 5. Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste while continuing to toss gently.
- 6. Serve: Plate your dish, topping it with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Drizzle with extra browned butter if desired.
