Ingredients

16oz potato gnocchi
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon white miso paste
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
10 fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon lemon zest
pinch of sea salt
black pepper to taste

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface; drain well.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, swirling continuously until it foams and turns a deep golden brown with a nutty aroma.

Immediately whisk in the miso paste until smooth.

Add the fresh sage leaves to the skillet, frying for 30 seconds until crisp.

Toss the cooked gnocchi into the brown butter emulsion, stirring gently to coat every pillow-soft dumpling.

Fold in the toasted walnuts and lemon zest.

Remove from heat and plate immediately, finishing with a generous dusting of Parmesan and freshly cracked black pepper for a balanced, savory finish.
