Easy Lemony Gnocchetti With Sage (vegan)
This recipe is an Italian dream dish come true! It's fast and easy to make, requires only a few ingredients, and it puts you into a happy summer mood.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 10 Large sage leaves (dried sage also works, about 1 tablespoon)
- 8 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 kg gnocchetti (2.2 lb)
- 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast (for that cheesy, savory flavor)
- Juice of ½ a mid-sized lemon (plus some extra if you want the flavor more citrussy)
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Prep the sage: Rinse or clean the fresh sage, pat dry, and chop, but set aside some for garnish later. If using dried sage, chop it finely or crumble it with your fingers.
- Sauté the gnocchetti: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Add the gnocchetti and sauté, stirring often, until they begin to brown.
- Add the sage: Stir in the sage (except for the small portion you saved). Continue frying until the gnocchetti are golden and the sage is fragrant.
- Finish the dish: Remove from heat. Add the nutritional yeast and lemon juice, and stir to combine.
- Season: Taste and season with a little salt and pepper (and more lemon juice if desired).
- Serve hot, sprinkled with the reserved sage.
