Potato Gnocchi with Butter, Sage and Chives
- Makes4 to 6 servings
- Cook Time20 minutes
A combination of lightly browned butter and fresh herbs creates a simple sauce that pairs perfectly with the delicate gnocchi.
You can make gnocchi ahead of time and keep covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator up to a day ahead. Heat the chilled gnocchi by adding them to a skilletful of hot sauce, tossing with a silicone spatula until warmed.
Step 1
In a nonstick 12-inch skillet over medium, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sage and cook, stirring, until fragrant and the butter just begins to brown, about 1 minute.
Add the gnocchi and ½ cup water and bring to a simmer over medium-high, gently tossing with a silicone spatula.
Step 2
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook, swirling the pan to melt the butter, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 minute.
Off heat, stir in the lemon juice and chives. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
