Brown Butter Gnocchi with Crispy Sage
Soft gnocchi in nutty brown butter with crisp sage leaves.
Shop-bought gnocchi is one of the best quick dinners there is. Brown butter makes it taste like far more effort.
Take the pan off the heat as soon as the butter smells nutty and has brown flecks. It can burn quickly after that.
