- 5 tbsp unsalted butter
- 8 oz frozen gnocchi
- 12 sage leaves cut into strips
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ⅓ cup Parmesan grated
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt.

- In a separate, large pan, melt the butter. To brown the butter, allow to sit on low heat, stirring occasionally, until browned. You will know that the butter is browned by seeing its coloring, but also by listening to the butter. Once it stops cracking and popping, it is close to done.
- Once the butter is browned, add the walnuts and half of the sage. Stir over the heat until the walnuts are toasted, about 7-8 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream into the pan, and mix until combined with the butter, walnuts and sage.
- Add the gnocchi back into the pan along with the rest of the sage strips.
- Sprinkle the gnocchi with the parmesan cheese, and mix until the cheese melts into the sauce.
