Typically, gnocchi are rolled using a fork to make their signature marks. These marks serve a distinct purpose to soak up more sauce in each little bite. If you find the rolling tricky, you can omit that step and stick to the round shapes.

Either way, I’m confident you will love the results. See my post linked at the bottom for all the tips on how to do this! You will also get to see the hands of my lovely mamma, who is my inspiration for everything in the kitchen.

Please see this post for the full gnocchi recipe with all the tips and tricks.

This is the best way to eat gnocchi now that it is officially fall. The richness of the brown butter, the poignant taste of garlic, and the earthiness of the sage make for the perfect sauce- Gnocchi in Garlic and Brown Butter Sage! Doesn’t that sound comfy? I think so!
