Brown Butter Gnocchi is the ultimate comfort food. Pillowy soft gnocchi is made delicious with garlic, parmesan cheese, fresh basil and the very best brown butter sauce. It’s a wonderfully simple, yet elegant entree that only takes 15 minutes to make!
In a large pot boil your water. Add the gnocchi. Cook the gnocchi for 2-3 minutes or until the gnocchi floats to the top.
Drain the gnocchi. Set aside.
In a large skillet on low to medium heat add the butter, garlic, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the butter has a light brown color. It will be frothing and have little brown bits in it.
Remove from the heat immediately.
Add in the gnocchi. Stir until heated through.
Top with grated cheese and fresh basil leaves.

Notes
NOTE: Fresh parmesan cheese is best if possible! Also, if you don't have fresh basil, just sprinkle dried basil over to your own taste.
