Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Brown Butter

Ingredients

For 2 servings

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, baked and peeled
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg, grated
• to taste salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 8 fresh sage leaves
• 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• to taste pepper

Method

1. 1

   In a bowl, mash the baked sweet potatoes. Mix in the flour, nutmeg, and salt. Add the beaten egg and combine to form a dough.

2. 2

   On a floured surface, roll pieces of dough into 1-inch thick ropes. Cut into 1-inch gnocchi pillows. Using a fork, create grooves on the cut gnocchi.

3. 3

   Boil salted water in a pot. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the top (approximately 2 minutes). Once cooked, drain them.

4. 4

   In a pan, melt the butter on medium heat until browned. Add fresh sage leaves and let them wilt slightly.

5. 5

   Add cooked gnocchi to the pan, tossing to coat them in brown butter and sage.

6. 6

   Serve the gnocchi topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of pepper to taste.
