Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Garlic Sage Butter
Delicious sweet potato gnocchi tossed in a savory garlic sage butter with optional broccoli rabe.
Ingredients
- One 1-lb sweet potato
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/4 cup flour (more for dusting)
- 5 cups finely chopped broccoli rabe (stems, leaves, and florets) – optional
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 5-6 sage leaves
Instructions
- Microwave the sweet potato until soft (about 7 minutes). Scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
- Mix in ricotta, parmesan, and salt. Gradually add flour, kneading gently until dough forms. Do not over-knead.
- Shape dough into a loaf, cut slices, and roll/stretch into ropes. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Toss with a little olive oil.
- Boil gnocchi until they float. Drain. (Optional: Refrigerate or freeze for later).
- Blanch broccoli rabe in boiling water for 1 minute, then shock in ice water. Drain.
- Pan-fry gnocchi in butter until golden brown. Add broccoli rabe, minced garlic, sage leaves, and salt. Cook for a few more minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until sauce lightly coats everything. Serve immediately!
Notes
- Use a fork to prick the sweet potato before microwaving for even cooking.
- Don't overwork the gnocchi dough; gentle handling is key to a tender texture.
- Pan-frying the gnocchi after boiling gives them a delicious crispy exterior.
