Gnocchi is a traditional Italian dish made out of flour and potato dough. However, this recipe uses a gluten-free soy flour base with a spinach and ricotta mixture with sage butter, which makes it an excellent dish for those with dietary restrictions. This dish can be served as a side or a main course and is perfect for dinner parties or cozy nights in. The combination of spinach and ricotta brings a refreshing flavor to the dish, while the texture of the gnocchi is soft, pillowy, and pleasantly chewy. The sage butter adds a touch of decadence to this versatile dish.

5.Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook gnocchi batches for around 2-3 minutes.
6.In a saucepan, melt butter and sage leaves on medium heat until the butter turns light brown.
7.Once the gnocchi is cooked, pour the sage butter over it and generously sprinkle it with grated Parmesan cheese.
