Ingredients

• 500 g fresh gnocchi
• 50 g butter

Method

1. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Rinse the leaves, pat them dry and cut the largest into strips.
2. Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat and let it foam until it turns light brown and smells of hazelnuts. Add the leaves and fry them for 1 minute until crisp. Take the pan off the heat.

4. Toss, season with pepper and a little salt and finish with the Parmesan.
