Ingredients

• 1 Egg
• 1 cup Warm Water
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/8 tsp Garlic Granules
• 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 cup Potato Flakes
• 3/4 cup Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour
• Extra salt for boiling water

• 4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (1/2 stick)
• 1 tsp Honey
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• One recipe Easy Gnocchi (above)
• 2 Tbsp Canola Oil
• 2 Tbsp chopped Hazelnuts
• 2 tsp minced Sage
• Shaved Parmesan

Instructions

1. Bring a medium pot of salted water to boil over medium heat.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together the egg, warm water, salt, garlic and black pepper in a medium bowl.
3. Pour in the potato flakes, whisking to incorporate the wet ingredients into the potatoes.
4. Mix the flour into the dough a few tablespoons at a time in a process similar to kneading. The dough will be sticky; when it starts really sticking to your hands or fingers, add more flour. Continue this process until all the flour has been incorporated.
5. Separate the dough into four pieces. On a well-floured surface, roll one piece at a time into a long, snake-like log, then use a bench scraper to cut 1/2-inch wide gnocchi pillows. Continue this process until all your gnocchi are cut.
6. Boil the gnocchi in 4-6 batches; you want enough room for the gnocchi to float freely in the salted water without sticking to themselves or the pot. Use a spider, strainer or slotted spoon to remove the cooked gnocchi once they begin to float to the top, about 1 minute. Pour the cooked gnocchi onto an oiled sheet tray.
7. Eat the gnocchi as is, cover with your favorite sauce, or pan sear.

1. Heat the butter in a light-colored pan over medium heat, swirling intermittently to ensure the milk solids caramelize uniformly.
2. Once the butter begins to smell nutty and you can see golden-brown milk solids at the bottom of the pan, remove from heat and add the honey. Set aside.
3. In a large frying pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon canola oil and half of the gnocchi. Sear the gnocchi until golden brown on each side, 2-3 minutes. Flip and continue the process until all the gnocchi is golden brown.
4. Add gnocchi, brown butter, hazelnuts, sage and parmesan to a serving bowl and toss until the gnocchi is well coated with the sauce. Serve and enjoy!
