Place the gnocchi in a pan of boiling water and boil the gnocchi until it floats. 2. Remove the gnocchi from the pan with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. 3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. 4. Add the gnocchi, plus a pinch of salt and pepper and fry the gnocchi for 5-6 minutes, turning oven, until the gnocchi is brown all over. 5. Remove the gnocchi from the pan and place in a bowl. If your pan has a lot of crispy bits in it (this might happen if you're using a non-stick pan), wipe/scrape them out. Don't worry about getting the pan spotless though, a few crispy bits are good. 6. Next, melt the butter in the frying pan over a medium heat. Once melted, continue to cook for a further 2-3 minutes, until it starts to go a very light brown and smells a tiny bit nutty. 7. Add the fresh sage leaves and cook for a further 2 minutes. 8. Add the garlic and cook for a further 1 minutes, stirring often. 9. Add the cooked gnocchi to the pan and sprinkle on the salt and pepper. 10. Stir together and cook for a further minute. 11. Add the lemon zest and juice and stir together. 12. Divide between bowls and top with a little parmesan and black pepper. ✎ NOTES * 20 sage leaves may seem a lot, and you might be worried that they'll overpower the dish, but the flavour of the sage mellows as it fries in the butter. #CookingShow #Recipe #QuickDinner
