Gnocchi with Brown Butter and Sage

Main courseEasy

Pan-fried gnocchi in nutty brown butter, ready in about 15 minutes.

Ingredients

2 servings

  • 1 lb potato gnocchi (fresh or vacuum-packed)
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 10 fresh sage leaves
  • 1 small handful of walnuts, roughly chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • Zest of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil

  2. Cook the gnocchi until they float, then drain

  3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat

  4. Add the sage and cook until the butter smells nutty and turns golden brown

  5. Add the gnocchi and fry for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly crisp

  6. Toss in the walnuts and lemon zest and season

  7. Serve with parmesan and a crisp green salad

Tips

  • Contains milk and gluten (most gnocchi contain wheat flour); walnuts are tree nuts
  • Watch the butter closely, as it goes from brown to burnt quickly
  • Vacuum-packed gnocchi can also go straight into the pan without boiling

Check for allergies and intolerances before you start, and swap ingredients as needed.
