Herb Brown Butter and Sage Parmesan Pan-Fried Gnocchi.

I think the title pretty much explains it all.

This is probably my favorite gnocchi dish EVER. And that’s saying a lot since gnocchi is one of my favorite foods.

How can you resist this dish? The truth is, I couldn’t – I was snacking on the toasted gnocchi before the whole dish came together.

You can use whatever gnocchi you like in this recipe – potato or ricotta. I’ve always preferred potato but would definitely not shy away from ricotta if that’s the only gnocchi I had on hand.
