Handmade Ricotta Gnocchi with Sage Brown Butter
Ingredients (4 portions):
- 1 cup ricotta (drained overnight)
- ½ cup Parmesan, grated
- 1 egg yolk
- ¾ cup flour (approx.)
- 6–8 sage leaves
- 4 tbsp butter
- Salt & pepper
Method:
- Mix ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolk, and flour to form a soft dough.
- Roll into ropes, cut into gnocchi, dust with flour.
- Boil in salted water until they float.
- In pan, melt butter, add sage until crisp, toss gnocchi.
Pro Tip: Keep dough light—too much flour makes gnocchi dense.
Plating Idea: Serve in shallow bowl, drizzle extra sage butter, finish with Parmesan shavings.
