Gnocchi with Broccoli,
Portobello and Sage

FOR THE LOVE OF SAGE

I mixed this Potato Gnocchi dinner together on the fly. It was something I had a taste for and thought the family might enjoy. Like a lot of recipes I like, it’s rich with cream and Parmesan cheese.

Sage is used in many Mediterranean dishes This herb is aromatic and intense in flavor. Fresh sage is sometimes battered and fried, which is delicious served on the side of meat or poultry. Many other Italian dishes like pizza, saltimbocca, foccacia and pastas call for the use of sage.

For this Potato Gnocchi recipe I prefer fresh sage, but I ended up using rubbed sage because I didn’t have time to run out and buy fresh. I also topped it off with my favorite smoked mozzarella and threw it under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melted and browned on top.
