Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet (a well seasoned cast iron is great) over medium heat. Drizzle in the oil and once hot, toss in the gnocchi.
  2. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed. Remove the gnocchi and set aside.
  3. Turn the heat down to low and take the skillet off of the heat to let it cool down for a minute or so.
  4. Place the skillet back on the heat (over low) and add the butter. Let it melt, stirring constantly with a silicone whisk or spatula until bubbling and browned. It will start to smell nutty and look browned and foamy. Don’t stop stirring, it can easily burn. This should take about five to eight minutes total. Adjust the heat as needed to medium-low to avoid burning. During the last minute, add the sage leaves and pumpkin seeds and let them fry in the butter. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  5. Add in the gnocchi and arugula and toss for about one minute, until everything is coated and the arugula has wilted a little. Add the red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve with fresh parmesan on top. Enjoy!
