Gnocchi With Cider And Sage Butter Sauce Recipe

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Add the cider, salt, pepper and half of the sage and return to a simmer. Do not boil. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by about half, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to package directions, being sure to drain them as soon as they float to the top. Transfer the gnocchi to a large serving bowl.

Strain the butter-cider reduction through mesh strainer. Pour the butter reduction over the gnocchi and toss lightly. Top the gnocchi with pine nuts, Parmesan shavings and reserved sage.
