Here, sage is infused into butter and lemon, creating a luxurious and fragrant sauce to create a classic version of this Italian favourite. Toss with the chickpeas and gnocchi and you’re done. The overall taste is earthy, yet fresh. Gnocchi is a soft and chewy ingredient that makes an excellent change of pace from pasta. It cooks in just minutes, making it perfect for a weeknight meal. This entire dish can be prepared in just 20 minutes. The addition of the chickpeas, which are high in protein, make this an excellent vegetarian meal.
