By vpitts2004

Ingredients

• 2 (12 ounce) packages potato gnocchi
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the gnocchi pasta, and cook until they float to the surface, 2 to 3 minutes; drain.

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the garlic has softened and is beginning to turn golden brown, about 4 minutes.

Stir in the sage and salt for a few seconds, then add the cooked gnocchi.

Toss gently with 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and the pepper.

Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese to serve.
