Ingredients
- 600 g gnocchi
- 150 g butter
- 4 sprigs sage, leaves picked – a good handful
- 5 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 handful hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 lemon, finely grated zest
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Parmesan, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the gnocchi according to the packet instructions, then drain well.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat and fry the gnocchi until lightly golden, – about 5 minutes.Set them aside on a plate.
- Melt the butter in the same pan, – add the sage and the crushed garlic, – and turn the heat down to medium. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, – the butter should foam vigorously around the sage and garlic and turn a light brown.
- Add the hazelnuts and cook for another 5 minutes, – still over a medium heat. Make sure the butter only browns lightly; if it is colouring too fast, turn the heat down.
- Return the gnocchi to the pan and toss everything together well.
- Season with salt and pepper and the freshly grated lemon zest, - and serve as a light starter, or as a side to a piece of chicken, fish, pork or steak.Top with grated Parmesan, if you like.
