Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup peas, fresh or frozen
  • 10 tablespoons good unsalted butter, divided *we use Plugra
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup tender asparagus, thinly sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced sugar snap peas
  • 2 small lemons
  • fresh chives, minced
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • flaky sea salt
For the Gnocchi
  • 24 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 extra large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour *we use Cup-4-Cup for gluten free
  • 2 cups grated parmigiano reggiano
  • Kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the peas. Cook for 3 minutes until tender. Transfer the peas to a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain the peas and set aside. Reserve the pot of water.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta and egg. Add 2 cups flour, the parmesan, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir until just combined. If the dough feels wet, add a 1/4 cup flour at a time until the dough can be formed into a ball. The dough should be sticky, but not so wet that it sticks to your hands.
  • Generously flour the counter and scrape the dough out onto it. Cut the dough into four pieces. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll the dough into a rope about 1-inch thick and cut into bite size pieces. Repeat this process, placing the gnocchi on a floured baking sheet. At this point, the gnocchi can be kept covered in the fridge for up to 1 day.
  • Bring the pot of salted water back to a boil. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the top, about 3-4 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, add 5 tablespoons of the butter to a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow to melt. Lower the heat to medium-low and add garlic. Continue to cook until the butter is golden brown, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  • In a separate skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and snap peas. Quickly saute 1-2 minutes. Stir in peas to heat through. Remove from the heat and stir in lemon zest and lemon juice. Add salt to taste.
  • Transfer the gnocchi to the brown butter, and allow them to toast for 1-2 minutes. Plate the gnocchi, and top with the brown butter and vegetables over top. Garnish with fresh chives, sea salt and black pepper.
