Ingredients

1 lb shelf-stable or fresh potato gnocchi
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp white miso paste
1 cup cherry tomatoes
3 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

Start by melting the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it begins to foam and turn a deep golden brown, emitting a nutty aroma.

Whisk in the white miso paste until smooth.

Add the gnocchi directly into the pan, ensuring each piece is coated, and sear for 5-7 minutes until the exteriors are golden and crispy.

Toss in the cherry tomatoes and garlic, sautéing until the tomatoes begin to blister and burst, releasing their juices to create a light, savory emulsion.

Finish by stirring in the fresh basil, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes.

Remove from heat and generously shower with freshly grated parmesan before serving immediately while hot.
