This easy weeknight recipe combines tender gnocchi with a rich, nutty brown butter sauce with sage and garlic. It's ready in 20 minutes!
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 1 pound gnocchi
- 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 10-12 fresh sage leaves
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Parmesan Cheese optional topping
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook gnocchi until they start to float.
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet, over medium high heat. Once the gnocchi are floating and the oil is hot, drain and add the gnocchi to the oil. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the gnocchi start to brown. Remove from the skillet.
- Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat. Once it melts, let it keep cooking for the next 2-3 minutes until it starts to get lightly golden and smells just a little nutty.
- Add the sage leaves to the butter and let it cook for another 2-3 more minutes. The butte will continue to get golden brown.
- Finally add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until it smells garlic and nutty. Add the cooked gnocchi back to the skillet and toss everything to coat well. Heat for another minute to warm the gnocchi.
- Serve topped with Parmesan cheese if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
