- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 50 grams parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi as per package instructions, usually until they float to the surface, which takes about 2-3 minutes.

Drain the gnocchi and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 6
In the same pan, add butter and let it melt over medium heat.

Once the butter starts to foam, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 8
Add fresh sage leaves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the leaves are fried and the butter is slightly browned.
Step 9
Return the gnocchi to the pan, tossing them gently to coat in the sage butter.
Step 10
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 11
Transfer to a serving platter and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
