The recipe for the pumpkin gnocchi easily made enough for two meals and now that I had had my pumpkin gnocchi in a gorgonzola sauce it was time for a classic, pumpkin gnocchi in brown butter and sage sauce. It constantly surprises me that something so simple as a browned butter sauce can be so good and yet it is! Even better, is that the sage fries up nice and crispy in the butter and the pair are a match made in heaven. Combine that with some sweet pumpkin gnocchi and you have an amazing meal that takes almost no effort to make. I like to add a hit of lemon juice at the end to brighten things up a bit.

January 11, 2011 at 5:28 amThis is one of our favorite things to make. The softness of the "dough" is often intimidating, but for naught. Thanks for your version. Can't wait to try!!!

January 12, 2011 at 2:20 amGorgeous and delicious. These are truly some of my favorite flavors, but I usually enjoy them in ravioli. Have only made gnocci once, but would love to try this.
