Ingredients

  

GNOCCHI:

• 2 LG russet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup grana padano cheese grated
• 1 LG egg
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 1/2 cup flour all purpose

Sage Butter Sauce

• 1 stick salted butter
• 10-12 leaves sage, fresh
• 1 pinch sea salt & black pepper

Instructions

 

• To prepare the gnocchi:

  Fill a 6 quart pot and get water to a rolling boil

  Peel potatoes and put in boiling water for 20-30 min or until soft

  When potatoes are done let cool then press in a potato ricer

  In a large bowl combine the potatoes, grated cheese, egg, salt and mix until smooth. Sprinkle in 1 1/4 cups of the flour, and mix to combine. Dump the dough onto your work surface, and knead until it comes together. If the dough is still sticky, add the remaining ¼ cup flour until smooth.

  To cook the gnocchi:

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  Divide dough into eight equal pieces. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment. Sprinkle parchment lightly with flour. Working with one dough piece at a time, roll dough out on a floured surface to about a ½-inch-thick rope. Cut rope crosswise into ¾–inch pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll gnocchi along the back of fork tines dipped in flour, making ridges on 1 side and a dimple on the other. Transfer the gnocchi to the floured baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough.

  Cook the gnocchi in two batches in the boiling water, giving them just a couple minutes more after they all float to the surface.

  To cook the sage and butter sauce:

  Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until they begin to crisp and the butter is just beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup of the pasta water and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, 3 or 4 minutes.
