This sage butter gnocchi couldn’t be any easier! A perfect main or side dish. Can be made keto, grain-free or gluten-free depending on what type of gnocchi you use.

Ingredients

  • 10.5 ounces (300 grams) gnocchi use whatever kind fits your diet
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons sage chopped
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice I use 1
  • 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the gnocchi according to package instructions.
    10.5 ounces (300 grams) gnocchi
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
    2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
  • Add in the sage.
    3 tablespoons sage
  • Continue cooking over medium heat until the butter foams, while giving the pan a good occasional swirl. Once the butter foams, stir in the garlic and keep an extra close eye on it. The color will change from yellow to tan and then to brown.
    1 garlic clove
  • Once the butter turns brown, immediately remove it from the heat and add 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
    1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Add the gnocchi, stir them a little in the sauce, and then add the cheese.
    1/4 cup Pecorino Romano
  • Add salt to taste, and more lemon juice, if desired.
    salt
  • Serve immediately.
