Ingredients
- 16 oz potato gnocchi
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 10 pieces fresh sage leaves
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 tsp salt
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Step 2
Add the potato gnocchi to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi to a plate lined with paper towels. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue to cook, swirling occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the sage leaves to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until they become crispy.
Step 5
Toss the drained gnocchi into the skillet with the brown butter and sage. Stir gently to coat the gnocchi, optionally adding a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
Step 6
Season with salt and divide the gnocchi among serving plates. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
