Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Balsamic-Sage Brown Butter Sauce

The earthy sweetness of sweet potatoes and the rich flavor of a balsamic-sage brown butter sauce come together in this recipe to make a tasty and comforting dish.

Ingredients:

• 2 large sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 10 fresh sage leaves
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, flour, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, salt, and pepper

Mix until a dough forms

Divide the dough into smaller portions and roll each portion into a rope about 1/2 inch thick

Cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces and place them on a floured baking sheet

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes

Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat

Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter starts to brown and the sage leaves are crispy, about 3-4 minutes

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar

Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat with the brown butter sauce

Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and sage leaves if desired
