I am a huge fan of pasta dishes, and I have to say that potato gnocchi with sage butter has quickly become one of my absolute favorites. The soft and pillowy texture of the gnocchi combined with the rich and creamy sauce is simply irresistible. If you're looking for a delicious and comforting snack or meal, this recipe is for you!
The key to making the perfect potato gnocchi is to use the right type of potatoes. I prefer to use starchy potatoes, such as russet or Yukon Gold, as they have the right amount of starch to bind the dough together. Once you have your potatoes cooked and mashed, you can add in your flour, salt, and eggs to create a soft and pliable dough.
The sage butter sauce is also incredibly easy to make, and it's the perfect complement to the potato gnocchi. The butter is melted and then sage leaves are added to infuse the butter with a lovely sage flavor. The sauce is then poured over the cooked gnocchi, and it's ready to be served.
One of the best things about this recipe is that it's incredibly versatile. You can serve it as a snack, a side dish, or even as a main course. It's also perfect for entertaining, as it can be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving.
