Instructions
Cook the Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve half a cup of pasta water then drain the gnocchi and set aside.
Brown the Butter
While gnocchi cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 3 to 4 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Crisp the Sage
Add the sage leaves and minced garlic to the browned butter and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sage is crispy and the garlic is fragrant. Remove sage leaves and set aside on a paper towel.
Toss and Serve
Add the drained gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat in the brown butter. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce. Serve topped with crispy sage leaves and generous amounts of grated parmesan and black pepper.
