How to make Brown Butter Sage Gnocchi
Cooking Instructions
Cook the gnocchi in a pot of salted boiling water until they float.
In a skillet, brown the butter over medium heat, adding fresh sage leaves until they are crisp.
Once the butter is browned, add salt, pepper, and Parmesan to the skillet.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the gnocchi directly from the water to the skillet, along with a splash of starchy pasta water.
Toss everything together until well combined.
Plate it up, add more Parmesan, and enjoy your fall favorite!
