Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage & Garlic Butter

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage and Garlic Butter

Ingredients:

2 - 3 large sweet potatoes (depending on size)

1 egg, beaten

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

6 leaves fresh sage, or more to taste

1 -2 garlic cloves diced

Directions:

1. Peel and microwave sweet potatoes for 12 minutes on high

2. Mash sweet potatoes in a large bowl (or use a ricer, it's easier!). Let cool, at least 15 minutes. Add the gg and mix with a fork. Mix in all-purpose flour gradually using a spoon. Knead together as dough becomes tougher. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour.

3. Dust your work surface with flour. Place your dough on the surface, cut into 8 pieces.

4. Take one piece, roll it out into a sausage about 1/2" diameter. Cut into 1/2" sections. Roll across a fork or gnocchi board to roll up into their final shape. Repeat with the remaining parts of dough.

5. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook the gnocchi until they float in the boiling water, about 4 minutes.

6.   Combine the olive oil, butter, sage, and garlic in a sauce pan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until butter is melted and flavors are combined. Add the gnocchi.

7. Serve in bowls or plates. Top with Parmesan to taste.
