Pumpkin Gnocchi with Burnt Butter and Sage

Ingredients

– 125g butter
– 12 large sage leaves, roughly shredded
– Juice of half a lemon
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

– 1 x 500g Grand Italian Pumpkin Gnocchi
– Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
– Extra sage leaves for garnish, lightly fried until crisp

Method

– Heat the butter in a medium sized non stick frypan until melted, then add the sage. Cook the butter over a low to medium heat for 2-3 minutes stirring continuously, until the butter foams and then begins to colour to a light nutty brown. (Remove from the heat if necessary, until the gnocchi is drained to avoid burning.)

– Meanwhile, boil the gnocchi as per pack directions, then drain well. Toss the gnocchi through burnt butter and allow to cook for a further 2-3 minutes, until the butter is a deep nut brown and gnocchi is lightly browned. Stir though the lemon juice and season to taste.

– Spoon the gnocchi into serving bowls, top with grated Parmesan and garnish with sage leaves. Serve immediately.
