Ingredients
1 pound gnocchi
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  Handful of fresh sage leaves (small)
1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
  Black pepper to taste
Instructions

Heat gnocchi according to package directions. Drain well. Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add sage and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until butter has brown flecks and a nutty smell. Quickly set aside and sprinkle nutmeg and salt over top.

Place a large skillet on the hot burner and melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Toss in gnocchi and let brown on one side, flip, and brown on the other side. Add in the sage brown butter and toss to coat. Serve with shaved Parmesan and black pepper to taste.
