I initially saw this gnocchi and asparagus with sage and lemon butter recipe in the Spring 2021 Great British Food magazine, and then also found it online on the British Asparagus website.   We had a pack of gnocchi in the fridge already, I'd bought new sage plants for our herb boxes earlier in the year but hadn't use any yet, and had fresh asparagus and lemons delivered in our recent online food shop...so this seemed like the perfect recipe to make!

It's a really quick dish to prepare and make, so is perfect for a mid week meal.

The end result is really delicious, from the crispy sage and garlicky lemon butter to the slight crunch in the asparagus with the pillowy gnocchi.

Tips

  • Enjoy this gnocchi and asparagus with sage and lemon butter with some fresh homemade bread - see our recipes in the link below.
  • The recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
