Ingredients

  • 500g potato gnocchi
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 10 fresh sage leaves
  • 1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

1
Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2
Cook the gnocchi according to package directions until they float, then drain well.
3
Meanwhile, in a large stainless steel skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
4
Allow it to foam and turn a deep golden brown, swirling constantly to prevent burning.
5
Once the butter smells nutty, add the sage leaves and fry for 30 seconds until crisp.
6
Whisk in the white miso paste until smooth, adding a splash of pasta water to create an emulsion.
7
Toss the drained gnocchi into the skillet, coating every piece in the savory butter.
8
Fold in the toasted hazelnuts, lemon zest, and cracked black pepper.
9
Serve immediately, topped with a generous dusting of grated Parmesan to balance the umami notes.
