Test Kitchen Tips
If arugula is too bitter for you, swap it out for a milder, tender green, like spinach.
BROWN BUTTER SAUCE:
Melt 8 Tbsp. unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat, swirling, until it smells nutty and brown flecks appear. Off heat, add a squeeze of lemon juice and salt to taste; cover sauce to keep warm.
Instructions
Cook arugula in 1 Tbsp. oil in a sauté pan over medium heat until wilted and liquid starts to release, 8 minutes. Let arugula cool slightly, wrap in paper towels, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Purée arugula in a food processor, 2 minutes; press between paper towels until it weighs 3 oz.
Prepare gnocchi according to recipe directions up through scooping flesh from potatoes.
Press 17 oz. potatoes through a ricer fitted with the finest disk onto a clean work surface; sprinkle dried arugula evenly over potatoes. Continue preparing, cooking, and tossing gnocchi with Brown Butter Sauce according to recipe directions in the Test Kitchen Tips.
