Classic staples like mac ‘n’ cheese and mashed potatoes will always be winners, but this winter, add something new to the roster! These sweet potato gnocchi in a walnut brown butter sauce are insanely delicious. This pillowy potato pasta dish will both warm you up and make your kitchen feel cozy this season.
This recipe features sweet potato gnocchi to give it an extra hint of sweetness, however, the decadent walnut and brown butter sauce will go great over any gnocchi variety. The pasta is seasoned with a walnut, brown sugar, and sage sauce to pack in an abundance of seasonal flavors, and mixed with parmesan cheese for extra creaminess. Top it with more parmesan cheese and, of course, chopped California walnuts, and voilà—your usual gnocchi recipe has been transformed.
