Savory & satisfying Brown Butter Sage Gnocchi is such a hearty dish, perfect for dinner any day of the week!

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces gnocchi (homemade or store bought)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh sage
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese (shredded)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Boil the gnocchi according to recipe or package directions. Drain well.

  2. 2

    While the gnocchi is cooking, add the butter and sage leaves to a large pan over medium high heat. Stir the butter occasionally until it begins to lightly brown and have a slightly nutty smell, about 2 minutes (the time can vary based on the type of pan).

  3. 3

    Remove the butter from the pan and set aside.

  4. 4

    Add the olive oil to the pan (add a few extra sage leaves if you have them to flavor the oil) and heat over medium-high heat. Add the drained gnocchi to the pan and cook until golden on one side without stirring, about 5-6 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the browned butter back to the pan and mix with the gnocchi. Cook 1-2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Season generously with salt and fresh black pepper. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.
