Fall Comfort Food: Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Butter Sauce

Today, I am excited to share this delicious and cozy fall comfort food recipe for sweet potato gnocchi with sage butter sauce. This dish is perfect for a chilly autumn evening when you’re craving something warm and comforting. The combination of the sweet potato gnocchi with the savory sage butter sauce is truly a match made in heaven.

To start, you will need the following ingredients:

• sweet potatoes (500g)
• all-purpose flour (150g)
• egg (1)
• salt (1 tsp)
• butter (100g)
• fresh sage (10 leaves)

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• potato masher
• large pot
• baking sheet
• frying pan

Start by baking the sweet potatoes in the oven until they are soft. Once they are cooked, scoop out the flesh and mash it in a bowl using a potato masher. Add the flour, egg, and salt to the sweet potato mash and mix until a dough forms. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut it into small gnocchi pieces.

Next, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the surface. In a separate frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the fresh sage leaves. Cook the butter until it turns a golden brown color and the sage leaves become crispy.

Once the gnocchi is cooked, drain it from the water and add it to the frying pan with the sage butter sauce. Gently toss the gnocchi in the sauce until it is evenly coated. Serve the sweet potato gnocchi with sage butter sauce hot, garnished with additional crispy sage leaves for extra flavor.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 900g, with 4 servings of 225g each. One serving of this sweet potato gnocchi with sage butter sauce is around 350 calories.

One tip to make this dish even more flavorful is to roast the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them before mashing. This will add a delicious caramelized flavor to the gnocchi.
