Quick Skillet Gnocchi with Sage Butter
A simple and delicious skillet dish featuring potato gnocchi, sage butter, and cherry tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound potato gnocchi
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 bunch fresh sage leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- none fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the sage leaves and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the leaves turn crispy and the butter starts to brown slightly.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Gently toss everything together in the sage butter, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well until the gnocchi are coated in a creamy sauce.
- Serve the gnocchi hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
Fresh basil and additional Parmesan can be used for garnish.
