Ingredients
- 16 oz Shelf stable gnocchi
- 6 TB Salted butter
- 20 Fresh sage leaves
- 1 TB Olive oil (for the pan)
Instructions
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the gnocchi in a single layer and cook undisturbed until golden on the bottom. Flip and continue cooking until lightly crisp on the outside and tender inside. Transfer to a plate.
- Once the gnocchi is done cooking, use the same pan to melt the butter over medium heat. Let it cook, swirling occasionally, until it foams and turns lightly golden with a nutty smell.
- Add the sage leaves to the browned butter and let them sizzle for 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant and slightly crisp. Then add the pan-fried gnocchi to the brown butter and sage. Gently toss to coat and serve immediately
Notes
Brown butter goes from perfect to burned quickly. Remove it from the heat as soon as it smells nutty and turns light golden.
For best texture, serve right away. Reheat leftovers gently in a skillet if needed.
