Ingredients

  • 500g potato gnocchi
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 10 fresh sage leaves
  • 1/4 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
  • 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts

Instructions

1
Begin by whisking the white miso paste and maple syrup in a small bowl until completely smooth; set aside.
2
In a large non-stick skillet, melt two tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
3
Add the dry, uncooked gnocchi directly into the pan.
4
Sauté for 6-8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the exteriors achieve a golden-brown, crispy crust while remaining pillowy soft inside.
5
Reduce heat to low and add the remaining butter and sage leaves.
6
Allow the butter to foam and turn a nutty golden brown.
7
Pour the miso-maple glaze over the gnocchi, tossing rapidly to coat every piece in the sticky, umami-rich sauce.
8
Remove from heat immediately, garnish generously with grated parmesan, chili flakes, and toasted pine nuts.
9
Serve hot while the texture contrast is at its peak.
