PAN-SEARED GNOCCHI WITH BROWNED BUTTER & SAGE



Pan-Seared Gnocchi with Browned Butter & Sage image

Provided by Laura Giannatempo

Categories     Main Course

Yield six.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 tsp. kosher salt; more as needed
1 recipe Potato Gnocchi
3 Tbs. unsalted butter, cut into 3 even pieces
8 Tbs. unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
18 large fresh sage leaves
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 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 in. Give one gentle stir, wait until the gnocchi all float to the surface of the water, and then cook them for 1 minute.
  • 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 tsp. 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.
  • 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.
  • Add the reserved gnocchi and the lemon zest to the pan and toss to coat well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

GNOCCHI WITH SAGE AND BROWN BUTTER



Gnocchi with Sage and Brown Butter image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 sage leaves
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing

GNOCCHI WITH BROWN BUTTER AND SAGE



Gnocchi With Brown Butter and Sage image

Provided by Marc Forgione

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
3 large russet potatoes (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds)
1 to 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 large egg
6 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
4 sage leaves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup shaved and/or coarsely grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pour a mound of kosher salt onto a rimmed baking sheet. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and nestle them in the salt; this prevents the potatoes from browning and draws out their moisture. Bake the potatoes until fork-tender, about 45 minutes. Let sit until just cool enough to handle.
  • Halve the potatoes lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a potato ricer; discard the skin. Press the flesh through the ricer onto a floured counter or cutting board; let cool 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Spread out the potatoes slightly. Beat the egg with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and drizzle over the potatoes.
  • Sprinkle the potato mixture with 1 cup flour and knead until a smooth dough forms, adding up to 1/2 cup more flour if the dough is sticky. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Lightly flour your surface. Divide the dough into 6 pieces and roll into "snakes," about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut into 1/2-to-1-inch lengths with a bench cutter or knife; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly dust with flour.
  • Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Cook, stirring, until the butter develops brown flecks and smells nutty. Watch it closely to keep the butter solids from burning. Remove from the heat.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi; wait until they float to the surface, then simmer 30 more seconds. (Taste one to make sure it's cooked through.) Return the brown butter to medium-low heat. Scoop the gnocchi from the pot with a spider or slotted spoon, transfer to the skillet and toss until some of the brown-butter flecks stick to the gnocchi. Add the red pepper flakes, sage and a few tablespoons of the gnocchi cooking water; toss again. Remove from the heat and add half of the cheese. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining cheese.

Soft pillowy nuggets of baked gnocchi are the ultimate comfort food.

Provided by Culinary Ginger

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta

Time 2h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into large pieces
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock, warmed
1 cup grated Fontina cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
6 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
1 pinch freshly ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fill a large saucepan with water. Add potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Continue to boil until potatoes are very soft, about 15 minutes. Drain and run through a food mill or a ricer for a nice, smooth consistency. Place potatoes in a bowl and refrigerate until they are cool, 15 to 20 minutes; this will help keep them fluffy.
  • Dust 2 sheet pans with flour and set aside.
  • Mix cooled potatoes and 1 1/2 cups flour together on a clean work surface. Knead until dough is soft and smooth, 4 to 5 minutes, adding only enough flour so dough comes together and is not tacky.
  • Cut dough into 4 equal parts. Roll 1/4 of the dough into a 3/4-inch log. Cut the log into 3/4-inch pieces. Roll the pieces over a gnocchi board or the back of a fork to create ridges and place onto a floured sheet pan in a single layer. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Let rolled gnocchi dry for 1 hour before cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt butter for cheese sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add chicken stock and continue to whisk until it thickens, about 3 minutes. Add Fontina cheese and Parmesan cheese; stir using a spoon until melted. Stir in sage and nutmeg. Stir in cooked gnocchi and transfer to a casserole or baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegetarian Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups cold leftover mashed potatoes
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
8 fresh sage leaves, finely sliced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine potatoes, egg yolk, lemon zest, olive oil, flour, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Using a wooden spoon, stir until incorporated. Divide dough into fourths. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll 1/4 of the dough into a 3/4-inch-diameter log. Cut the log into 3/4-inch-long pieces. Pick up one piece of dough, and press onto the back of a fork with your thumb. Still using your thumb, roll dough off fork, forming a "C" shape; the indentations from the tines should be visible. Place the gnocchi on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat process with the remaining pieces of dough, arranging finished gnocchi in a single layer. Repeat with the remaining 3 portions of dough.
  • Fill a large saucepan with water, and add 2 teaspoons salt; bring to a boil. Have ready a colander set over a bowl. Add 1/4 of the gnocchi, and cook until they float to the top, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cooked gnocchi to the colander. Cook the remaining gnocchi.
  • Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add butter. When butter begins to brown, about 2 minutes, add pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Increase heat to high. Add the gnocchi and sage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sage has wilted and the gnocchi have heated through, 1 1/2 minutes. Serve immediately, with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

RICOTTA GNOCCHI WITH SAGE AND BROWN BUTTER



Ricotta Gnocchi with Sage and Brown Butter image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 lemon, zested
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup drained whole-milk ricotta
1 large egg
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
15 large sage leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • For the gnocchi: Combine the flour, Parmesan, lemon zest and salt in a medium bowl. Add the ricotta and egg. Mix well with a wooden spoon or your fingers until the dough just comes together, taking care not to overwork the dough, which could cause it to become tough.
  • Scrape the dough onto a well-floured work surface and pat into a rough square. Cut the dough into fourths with a bench scraper or knife. Gently roll each piece into a foot-long rope about an inch in diameter, flouring as needed to prevent the dough from sticking to the work surface. Cut each rope into 1/2-inch pieces with a bench scraper or knife and set aside.
  • For the sauce: Heat 6 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat in a skillet large enough to accommodate all of the gnocchi without crowding. When the butter begins to foam, add the gnocchi to the skillet and cook, turning as necessary, until they're browned and crisp on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the sage leaves and cook until crisp, 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in 1/2 cup water, the lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • Remove from the heat and sprinkle in the Parmesan while turning the gnocchi. Let the sauce ingredients emulsify and form a silken coating, about 1 minute. Add more water if the skillet looks too dry. Spoon the gnocchi and sauce into shallow bowls and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect gnocchi, use a light hand when mixing the dough. Overworking the dough will make the gnocchi tough.
  • If the dough is too wet, add more flour until it is just firm enough to handle.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little water until it is smooth and pliable.
  • When cooking the gnocchi, make sure the water is boiling rapidly before adding them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook the gnocchi until they float to the top of the water, then cook for an additional minute or two. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the gnocchi immediately with your favorite sauce. They can be topped with grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

Gnocchi in sage butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it as a main course or a side dish, this recipe is sure to please everyone at the table. With its simple ingredients and quick preparation time, this dish is a great option for busy weeknights or special occasions.
