Ingredients
Units
Scale
- Gnocchi:
- 2 large baking potatoes, cooked and peeled
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for boiling water
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Sage Sausage Butter Sauce:
- 1 pound sage-flavored sausage
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 stick butter
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1-2 teaspoons garlic and herb seasoning blend
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (if finishing potatoes in oven) and cook the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them.
- In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, salt, egg, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- On a floured surface, roll dough into long ropes about 1/2 inch thick, then cut into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in batches until they float to the surface, about 2–3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the sage sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove sausage and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté diced onion until translucent. Add garlic, ground sage, garlic and herb seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the cooked sausage back into the skillet along with vegetable broth. Simmer for 5 minutes to combine flavors.
- Toss the cooked gnocchi in the sauce until evenly coated. Serve hot, garnished with additional sage or grated cheese if desired.
Notes
- Ensure gnocchi dough is not too sticky; add extra flour if needed.
- Do not overcook gnocchi in boiling water; remove as soon as they float.
- Vegetable broth can be substituted with chicken broth for a richer flavor.
