I'm having more fun working with Land O'Lakes (Kitchen Conversations) on this recipe! I'm a huge fan of butter, let's face it: I love all kinds of butter. And brown butter? I'm an even bigger fan. Brown butter gives dishes a nutty AND buttery flavor. I have been wanting to make a dish with gnocchi for a while now. So why not combine brown butter and gnocchi? I'm still scared to make it from scratch so store-bought for now and huge bonus is this dish only takes less than 30 minutes to put together!
I’m so excited about being a part of the Land O’Lakes Pin a Meal. Give a Meal. campaign for Feeding America®. Feeding America® does such amazing and important work, and I’m thrilled that Land O’Lakes asked me to be a part of helping to bring awareness to hunger in America and help donate meals.

Here’s how to make this delicious Gnocchi with Brown Butter Cream Sauce & Kale.
First, let me show you how to brown butter. Melt a Land O Lakes® Unsalted Butter Half Stick on medium heat in a nonstick skillet.
It will start foaming. Don't walk away!
A few minutes later, you have brown butter. Butter can burn easily so watch it carefully.
Remove from the skillet and set aside. Don't put that skillet away, you're going to use it to cook the veggies.
Remove the stems from the kale and chop the leaves.
Chop the red pepper.
I chose mini gnocchi for this recipe. Aren't they cute?
Remove the gills from the portobella mushrooms.
And then slice them.
Return the skillet to the stove and add 1 teaspoon of the brown butter, the chopped peppers and sliced mushrooms.
Cook for a few minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked down.
Add the kale.
I love that kale is bright green!
Add the cream and the brown butter and allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes.
All done!
This is definitely a version of really fast comfort food. I love the gnocchi paired with the nuttiness of the brown butter and the cream makes it a teeny bit rich…but the rich flavors are are balanced out by the kale, mushrooms and the peppers. And even better, it tastes great reheated the next day!
