I love gnocchi and I'm always looking for new ways to eat it. I found this recipe in the Hy-Vee grocer magazine which has some really delicious recipes. I wasn't sure what to expect with the ingredients in this sauce but thought it was worth a try. Adding the Parmesan cheese upon serving it is a perfect compliment to the sweetness of the sauce.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried sage
1 (16 oz.) package gnocchi
Parmesan cheese fro sprinkling
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 F. In a medium bowl, combine sweet potatoes, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir to coat potatoes. Spread evenly on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 25-30 minutes or until browned.
In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add maple syrup, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, black pepper and sage; simmer. Prepare gnocchi according to package directions. When gnocchi is done strain and place into butter sauce. Continue to simmer in butter sauce until sauce has thickened. Add baked sweet potato cubes and toss lightly to coat. Garnish each serving with Parmesan cheese liberally.
Yield: Serves 4.
