Instructions

  1. 1
    In a bowl, mix ricotta, egg, Parmesan, cranberries, salt, and pepper until just combined.
  2. 2
    Add flour and fold in gently, being careful not to overwork the dough.
  3. 3
    On a floured surface, divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll each into a log about 1/2 inch thick and cut into 1-inch gnocchi.
  4. 4
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a low boil. Cook gnocchi in batches until they float, plus 30 seconds more. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  5. 5
    Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sage and cook until butter is golden brown and sage is crisp, 3–4 minutes.
  6. 6
    Toss cooked gnocchi into the skillet with brown butter. Add lemon zest and extra Parmesan, then serve hot.
