Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Garlic Sage Butter Sauce

INGREDIENTS

• 1 packages Trader Joe's Sweet Potato Gnocchi, cooked according to package instructions

• 3 slices bacon

• 1/2 cup frozen peas

• Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

GARLIC SAGE BUTTER SAUCE

• 8 tablespoons butter

• 1/3 cup heavy cream

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 5-6 sage leaves

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook bacon on medium-high heat until crisp. Once cooked, chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside.

2. Cook the gnocchi: Using the same skillet, add the frozen gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, about 5-10 minutes. Gently add in the bacon and peas to the skillet.

3. Prepare the sauce: Melt the butter in medium-sized pot over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the garlic has softened and is beginning to turn golden brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in the sage and salt then add the sauce to the same skillet the gnocchi is in. Gently stir a few times. Top with parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
