This sage butter gnocchi is a busy weeknights dream. It comes together in literally 15 minutes, with so little effort! Plus with just 5 ingredients (if you don’t count salt and pepper) there isn’t any real prep work either!

What You’ll Need

  • Butter
  • Fresh Sage
  • Potato Gnocchi
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Pine Nuts
  • Salt & Pepper

The pine nuts a little something extra here, that you could leave out or use chopped walnuts for if you had them. They just add a little texture and take it to the next level.

How To Make Sage Butter Gnocchi

  1. Start by cooking the gnocchi according to the package directions. This usually means boiling water and then cooking them for about 5 minutes. Once they are cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. While the gnocchi is cooking melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  3. Mix in the torn sage leaves with the butter and let it cook for about 5 minutes. You really want the sage to flavor the butter, but not burn. So turn it down a little if necessary.
  4. After the gnocchi are cooked, toss them with the sage butter and Parmesan cheese. Stir until everything comes together and the cheese is melted.
  5. Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste and mix in the pine nuts.
