Ingredients
  

  • kosher salt
  •  
    32 oz gnocchi
  •  
    ¾ cup unsalted butter, divided
  •  
    ¼ cup packed fresh sage leaves
  •  
    4 cloves garlic, minced
  •  
    1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  •  
    1 cup canned sweet potato purée
  •  
    1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  •  
    finely grated Parmesan
  • red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  1. Boil the gnocchi in salted water according to package directions, then drain.
  2. Melt 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan. Reduce to medium-low and stir occasionally for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden and nutty. Set aside.
  3. Melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium. Fry the sage for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer the leaves to paper towels. Add garlic to the skillet and cook 1 minute.
  4. Whisk in broth, sweet potato purée and maple syrup. Bring to a boil, season and cook about 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Toss in the gnocchi and cream for about 2 minutes.

Notes

Watch the browned butter closely so the milk solids do not burn.
