Ingredients
  

  • 500 g gnocchi
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 bunch Swiss chard (about 4 cups chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage chopped
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • salt and pepper
  • Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions
 

  • As this dish comes together quickly, start by preparing and chopping the Swiss chard and herbs. Set aside.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the gnocchi (gnocchi will cook in just minutes so begin the next step immediately).
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a light-coloured skillet over medium-high heat (you want a light coloured pan so that you can see the butter turn brown). Let butter cook until it becomes frothy and begins to brown. Add the fresh herbs and let cook for about a minute.
  • Drain the gnocchi and add it to the pan with the brown butter sauce. Add the Swiss chard and toss together for a couple of minutes until the Swiss chard wilts. Add the lemon zest and juice and season with salt and pepper. Spoon onto plates and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
