Herb-Roasted Ricotta Gnocchi with Sage Brown Butter
Enjoy a delightful twist on classic gnocchi where a light and airy dough made with part-skim ricotta, a whole egg plus extra egg whites, and a touch of flour is tossed with fragrant fresh sage and finished in a nutty brown butter. Each bite offers a unique balance of creamy, herbaceous, and buttery flavors that dance on the palate.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta
1 whole egg
2 egg whites
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp unsalted butter
5 fresh sage leaves
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Olive oil spray
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment with olive oil spray.
In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup ricotta, 1 whole egg, and 2 egg whites until smooth. Mix in 1/3 cup flour, salt, pepper, and roughly chopped sage leaves (reserve a couple for garnish) until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion on a lightly floured surface into a rope about 1/2 inch thick and cut into 1-inch pieces. Optionally, press a fork lightly over each piece to create the classic gnocchi ridges.
Place the gnocchi onto the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until they are lightly golden and set.
While the gnocchi roasts, melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow the butter to cook until it turns a golden brown with a nutty aroma. Add the remaining chopped sage leaves and swirl briefly; remove from heat.
Toss the roasted gnocchi gently with the sage-infused brown butter. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh sage if desired and serve immediately.
