You only need 6 ingredients including salt & pepper to make this extremely flavorful and satisfying Brown Butter Sage Gnocchi!
I used a package of pre-made gnocchi to keep this recipe super quick and simple, but feel free to make your own gnocchi if desired.
I served this gnocchi with some green beans that I sautéed in the leftover brown butter sage sauce and my easy air fryer parmesan crusted chicken.
