Tips and Tricks
- Toast the panko and nuts slowly over medium heat to bring out their full flavor without burning.
- Make sure the butter is fully browned (but not burnt!) to get that nutty aroma and rich flavor that makes brown butter sauce for gnocchi so irresistible.
- Don’t skip the miso—it adds a subtle yet game-changing layer of flavor to the sauce.
- For an extra crispy texture, toast the gnocchi a bit longer until it’s golden and slightly crisp on the outside.
