Once boiling, gently add the potato gnocchi and cook them until they float to the surface, which indicates they are ready. This process should take only a couple of minutes; be careful not to overcook.

When the butter reaches a beautiful golden brown hue, immediately stir in the roughly chopped garlic and sage leaves, mixing well.

Quickly remove the pan from the heat, allowing the residual heat to continue cooking the garlic and sage slightly without burning.
