Herb-Ricotta Gnocchi with Brown Butter Sage Sauce
Delight in tender, handmade herb-infused ricotta gnocchi lightly boiled to perfection and smothered in a nutty brown butter sage sauce, finished with a touch of grated parmesan. This dish offers a comforting blend of creaminess and earthy sage with the added indulgence of homemade pasta textures.
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (185g)
1 whole egg (50g)
1/3 cup whole wheat flour (40g)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (14g)
5 fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (5g)
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a bowl, combine the ricotta, whole egg, and whole wheat flour. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Mix until a soft dough forms; avoid overmixing to keep the gnocchi tender.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it into a log. Slice the log into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the gnocchi into the boiling water and cook until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and continue cooking, swirling the pan frequently, until the butter turns a golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the butter.
Toss the boiled gnocchi in the brown butter sage sauce until well coated. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, herbaceous flavors of your homemade gnocchi.
