Place your Gnocci into the brown butter sauce and toss for thirty seconds. Place pasta into a bowl and top with over easy egg. Garnish the top with shaved Parmesan and fresh Parsley.

too little butter
sage should be julienned
over easy is a lazy man's runny egg
and this dish is missing a key ingredient which will balance the both the fat from the butter and the salt from the pancetta, but no way am I telling you what it is
sincerely,
your rival
