Add gnocchi to boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, then 1–2 minutes more. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with sage leaves. Swirl and cook for 3–4 minutes until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty; watch carefully so it doesn't burn.
