Gnocchi with Brown Butter and Sage Recipe 🍽️
Keep this four-ingredient dish in your back pocket for whenever you want a simple, filling meal in a flash. Packaged gnocchi can be cooked directly in the pan, where the outsides crisp up nicely, leaving the insides pillowy and tender. It pairs well with crumbled fried sausage and the whole thing can be simply but deliciously dressed in a decadent sauce made of brown butter and sage.

Ingredients
- 10 Tbsp. (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, divided
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh sage
- 12 oz. sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
- 2 (9-ounce) packages store-bought gnocchi
Directions
Step 1
Melt 8 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until golden brown and nutty smelling, 8 to 10 minutes. Add sage and cook, until crisp, 5 to 10 seconds.
Step 2
Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet; reduce heat to medium. Add gnocchi and spread into a single layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 minutes. Toss, and continue cooking, until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sage butter and sausage, and cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
