Chef's Note

Skip the boiling water: pan-frying raw gnocchi creates a perfect crispy crust through rapid surface dehydration.

Ingredients
  • 260 g uncooked potato gnocchi

  • 130 g raw chicken sausage link

  • 5 g unsalted butter

  • 120 g fresh baby spinach

  • 15 g Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

  • 2 clove garlic cloves

  • 4 pieces fresh sage leaves

  • 1/2 piece lemon

Instructions
  • 1

    Finely chop the 2 garlic cloves, finely slice the 4 fresh sage leaves, and grate 15g of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

  • 2

    Remove and discard the casing from the 130g of raw chicken sausage link.

  • 3

    Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 130g of raw chicken sausage meat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon into bite-sized crumbles. Cook for 5 minutes until browned and cooked through, then transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving any fat and browned bits in the pan.

  • 4

    Reduce the heat to medium and melt 5g of unsalted butter in the same skillet. Add the 260g of uncooked potato gnocchi directly to the pan in a single, even layer.

  • 5

    Cook the gnocchi undisturbed for 4 minutes until the bottoms are golden-brown and crispy. Toss the gnocchi, then add the 4 sliced fresh sage leaves and 2 chopped garlic cloves. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant and the butter is nut-brown.

  • 6

    Return the cooked chicken sausage crumbles to the skillet, then add the 120g of fresh baby spinach. Squeeze the juice of the 1/2 lemon over the mixture.

  • 7

    Toss everything together for 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the lemon juice has deglazed the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  • 8

    Plate the crispy gnocchi and sausage, and garnish with the 15g of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
