These gnocchi are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside because you sauté them in hot oil. Plus, they leave a little fond (crispy brown bits) to add toasty flavor to the tomato and leek sauce, which is cooked in the same pan. Since this easy gnocchi recipe calls for store-bought shelf-stable gnocchi, it's quick to prepare—just 20 minutes, start to finish. Opt for whole-wheat gnocchi to get 2 extra grams of fiber per serving compared to white. This easy and healthy dinner is easy to customize too: see Tips for variations with shrimp, pesto instead of butter, and pork chops instead of gnocchi.
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 pound gnocchi, preferably whole-wheat
2 cups sliced leek (about 1 large)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage, plus more for garnish

¼ cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons butter

¼ teaspoon ground pepper
