Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 10 Fresh Sage Leaves
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup Pine Nuts (optional, toasted)
Instructions
- 1. Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float, about 2-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- 2. Brown the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter slowly. Stir frequently until it foams and turns golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- 3. Add Sage Leaves: Once the butter is golden, add fresh sage leaves. Sizzle for about one minute until crispy and fragrant.
- 4. Combine Gnocchi & Sauce: Gently add cooked gnocchi to the skillet with browned butter and sage. Toss gently to coat without squishing them.
- 5. Season & Serve: Sprinkle with salt and toasted pine nuts (if using). Plate and drizzle with additional browned butter for extra indulgence.
