Gnocchi with Sage Butter Sauce: A Delightful Italian Classic
Gnocchi are small Italian dumplings, traditionally made from potatoes, flour, and eggs. The word gnocchi comes from the Italian word nocchio, meaning "knot" or knuckle, referring to the shape of the dumplings. Sage butter sauce, on the other hand, is a rich and fragrant sauce made by browning butter and infusing it with fresh sage leaves. This sauce enhances the gnocchi’s soft texture, creating a perfect combination of flavors that melt in your mouth.
