Herb-Ricotta Gnocchi with Brown Butter Sage Sauce
Delight in tender, homemade herb-infused ricotta gnocchi dressed in a luxurious brown butter sage sauce. Each bite offers a light, pillowy texture balanced by a rich, nutty sauce accented with aromatic sage, creating an elegantly simple dish perfect for a rejuvenating dinner.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (246g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour (40g)
1/2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (7g)
5 Fresh Sage Leaves
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1 tsp Lemon Zest (optional)
PREPARATION
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, whole wheat flour, salt, pepper, and lemon zest if using. Mix gently until just combined to form a soft dough, being careful not to overwork it.
Lightly dust a work surface with a bit of flour and transfer the dough onto it. With floured hands, roll the dough into a long rope of about 1/2 inch thickness.
Using a bench scraper or knife, cut the rope into 1-inch pieces. Lightly press each piece against the tines of a fork to create the traditional gnocchi ridges.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float to the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow it to cook until it turns a light golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, then add the fresh sage leaves and let them crisp for about 30 seconds.
Toss the cooked gnocchi gently in the brown butter sage sauce to coat evenly.
Plate the gnocchi and garnish with a few extra crisped sage leaves if desired. Serve warm.
