Ingredients

5 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
10 sage leaves
9 oz package of prepared gnocchi
½ cup parmesan
1 tsp lemon juice
Pepper
Salt
Optional garnish: lemon slices

Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, add the butter, olive oil, and sage leaves.
When the butter melts, add the gnocchi, parmesan, and lemon juice.
Stir the gnocchi, flipping often, for about 5-6 minutes, or until desired level of “crispiness” is achieved (the parmesan in the pan will also crisp up and stick to the outsides of the gnocchi).
Salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.

Notes

Storage: Store the gnocchi in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat: To reheat add some olive oil to a pan over medium heat and saute the gnocchi for 1-3 minutes (just until they’re warm), and they’ll be as good as new.

Serving suggestions:

As an appetizer: Crispy gnocchi make a great appetizer, serve them with a side of marinara, Italian dressing, or olive oil and herbs for dipping.

As a main course: Alternatively, to make this a main course, saute some diced sausage along with the gnocchi, top with a cup of marinara, and serve with a side salad.
