For an even richer flavor, brown the butter before adding the garlic. Watch it closely to avoid burning. Fresh sage is a wonderful alternative to dried sage. Use about a tablespoon of chopped fresh sage for the best flavor. If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter sauce. Serve this dish as a light lunch, a side dish, or even a simple supper.

01 Step
Recipe View Gather all ingredients and have them prepped and ready to go. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, plus an additional minute. This usually takes just 2-3 minutes. Drain immediately, reserving about 1/4 cup of the pasta water. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View While the gnocchi are cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to brown the garlic, as it will become bitter. (Cook time: 3 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Stir in the sage and salt. Add the drained gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the butter sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water to loosen it. (Cook time: 2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and the black pepper. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the gnocchi are evenly coated. (Cook time: 1 minute)
06 Step
Recipe View Serve immediately, sprinkled generously with additional Parmesan cheese. A drizzle of good-quality olive oil is also a lovely addition. (Prep time: 1 minute)
