Gnocchi in a brown sage butter

‘Gnocchi’ is Italian and similar to a mix between a potato and pasta. Usually, the way to cook gnocchi is to boil it, however I think that it tastes much better when it is pan fried. You can make your own gnocchi, but to save time, I just used shop brought gnocchi.

Ingredients: (serves 2)

– 1 pack of shop brought gnocchi ( I just got the plain type)

– 2 tbsp olive oil

-1 handful of sage leaves, chopped

-60g butter, chopped (use vegan butter, if vegan)

Method:

1. Put the olive oil into a frying pan on medium heat.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the gnocchi to this. Use a wooden spoon to make sure that all of the individual gnocchi are separated. Fry the gnocchi for about 5 minutes, or until all the gnocchi are golden brown. Stir often.
3. Once the gnocchi are cooked, push them to one side of the pan, and add the butter and sage to the other side of the pan. 
4. Stir the gnocchi into the butter and keep the pan on a medium-low heat whilst the butter turns brown. After about 1-2 minutes, add the parmesan to the gnocchi, and stir.
5. Season with lots of salt and pepper.
