Instructions

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi according to package directions (usually 2-3 minutes, until they float). Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.

2

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan, for 3-4 minutes until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty. Watch carefully; it goes from brown to burnt quickly.

Tip: Use a light-colored pan so you can see the butter change color. The milk solids will turn from white to golden to amber.

3

Add sage leaves to the brown butter and fry for 30 seconds until crispy. Add pine nuts if using and toast 30 seconds.

4

Add the drained gnocchi and toss gently to coat. Add a splash of cooking water if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with a generous amount of grated Parmesan.
