Savory Anchovies with Gnocchi and Sage
So simple, yet so delicious—this gnocchi with anchovies and sage! These small canned fish have an intense, savory flavor and are the secret ingredient in many sauces, dressings, and soups. Definitely worth trying!
If you want to desalt the anchovies, soak them in milk for half an hour.
Clarify the butter. Place a small saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter completely without letting it brown. Remove the pan from the heat and use a spoon to skim off the white milk solids from the butter.
Place the pan back on the stove over medium heat. Fry the sage leaves in the butter until crispy. Remove the pan from the heat, scoop out the leaves, and place them on a paper towel to drain.
Cook the gnocchi according to the instructions on the package.
Divide the gnocchi onto four plates. Pour the sage butter over the gnocchi and sprinkle with some parsley and pepper.
Top the gnocchi with the sage leaves and anchovies, and serve immediately.
