The Bent Fork - Pan Seared Gnocchi with Sage and Brown Butter
The Bent Fork Pan Seared Gnocchi with Sage and Brown Butter
For the Gnocchi
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
2 lbs potato gnocchi
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 3 even pieces
For the Sauce
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
18 large fresh sage leaves
Your favorite Mushrooms (or none)
Pistachios
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
2 lbs potato gnocchi
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 3 even pieces
For the Sauce
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
18 large fresh sage leaves
Your favorite Mushrooms (or none)
Pistachios
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
Fresh Parmesan
Directions:
1 Cook the Gnocchi:.
2 Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Add about one-third of the gnocchi. To get the gnocchi into the boiling water, fold the parchment ends to form a chute and gently shake the gnocchi out, taking care not to clump them together as you drop them inches Give one gentle stir, wait until the gnocchi all float to the surface of the water, and then cook them for 1 minute.
I would then saute the mushrooms in some buttter if you like to add them.
3 Meanwhile, heat 1 Tbs. of the butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter is completely melted, use a large slotted spoon or a strainer to transfer the cooked gnocchi from the boiling water to the skillet, shaking off as much water as possible first. The gnocchi should form a single layer in the skillet. (If the butter is melted before the gnocchi cook, take it off the heat; if the gnocchi cook before the butter is fully melted, it’s fine to add the gnocchi.) Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoons salt and cook, shaking the pan occasionally to turn the gnocchi, until they’re lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. Repeat with the remaining gnocchi.
4 Make the Sauce:.
5 Wipe the skillet clean if necessary. Put it over medium-high heat and add the butter. When the butter has almost completely melted, stir in the sage leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns a light brown color (be careful not to let it burn) and the sage leaves darken and crisp up slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
6 Add the reserved gnocchi and the lemon zest to the pan and toss to coat well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with your favorite cheese and sprinkle some Pistachios. Serve immediately.
