Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 medium russet potatoes (baked and mashed)
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup ricotta
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan (freshly grated)
  • 1 large egg
  • 75 g unsalted butter (for brown butter)
  • 10 leaves fresh sage
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeled and sliced)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lemon zested lemon
  • 0.5 lemon juiced lemon

Instructions 

  • Bake potatoes at 200°C until tender, then cool and mash. Mix mashed potatoes with flour, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper to form a dough.
  • Divide dough into 6 ropes, cut into ¾-inch pieces, and boil until tender, about 4-6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Fry gnocchi in olive oil until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat until light brown, then add sage leaves and cook for 1 minute. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  • Add cooked gnocchi to the pan, season with salt and pepper, squeeze lemon juice, add zest, and cook for 1 minute. Serve topped with Parmesan.

Notes

Use fresh sage for the best flavor and be careful not to burn it when frying.
