Today’s Unique Recipe: Sweet Potato and Sage Gnocchi with Brown Butter Sauce

Welcome, lovely readers! Today, I’m excited to share a cozy and comforting dish that’s perfect for a crisp fall evening or a special gathering with friends. Sweet potato and sage gnocchi with brown butter sauce is a unique twist on a classic Italian favorite, and I can’t wait for you to try it.

Ingredients:

  • 300g sweet potatoes (peeled, diced)
  • 10g fresh sage leaves
  • 150g all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 50g butter
  • 30g parmesan cheese (grated)

Kitchen Tools:

  • potato masher
  • rolling pin
  • skillet
  • mixing bowl

To start, boil the diced sweet potatoes until tender, then mash them using a potato masher until smooth. Chop the fresh sage leaves finely and add them to the sweet potato mash along with the beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.

On a floured surface, roll the sweet potato dough into ropes, then cut them into bite-sized pieces to form the gnocchi. Using a fork, create ridges on the gnocchi to help hold the sauce later on. In a skillet, melt the butter until it turns a nutty brown color, then add the gnocchi in a single layer to brown on each side.

Once the gnocchi is golden and crispy, sprinkle on the grated parmesan cheese and toss gently to coat. Serve the sweet potato and sage gnocchi with a drizzle of the brown butter sauce and extra parmesan on top for a decadent finish.

This dish weighs approximately 800g in total, with 4 servings at 200g each. One serving is around 350 calories.

Clever Tip:

For a unique twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the sweet potato gnocchi dough for a hint of warmth and spice.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring this delightful sweet potato and sage gnocchi with brown butter sauce. Don’t be afraid to experiment and make it your own by adding your favorite herbs or cheeses. Bon appétit!
