Instructions
To prepare gnocchi, combine 1/4 cup water and potatoes in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave at HIGH 10 minutes or until tender.
Drain potatoes; mash potatoes with a potato masher. Cool 5 minutes.
Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife.
Combine potatoes, 3/4 cup flour, hazelnut meal, and next 3 ingredients (through egg yolk); mix well. Knead until smooth (about 2 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 12-inch-long rope.
Cut each rope into 20 pieces; roll each piece into a ball. Working with one dough piece at a time (cover remaining dough to prevent drying), using your thumb, roll dough piece down the tines of a lightly floured fork (gnocchi will have ridges on one side and an indention on the other).
Place gnocchi on a lightly floured baking sheet.
Bring 1 gallon water to a boil in a large stockpot.
To prepare glaze, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add 1 minced garlic clove to pan; cook 30 seconds.
Add broth; bring to a boil. Stir in sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
Add half of gnocchi to boiling water; cook 3 minutes or until done (gnocchi will rise to the surface).
Remove cooked gnocchi with a slotted spoon; place in a colander. Repeat procedure with remaining uncooked gnocchi.
Serve drizzled with warm glaze.
Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio
Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio are my top picks for Italian. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. You could try Spalletti Chianti Reserve Poggio Reale. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 23 dollars per bottle.

Spalletti Chianti Reserve Poggio Reale
This superb reserve wine, produced exclusively from the Poggio Reale estate, is a graceful, velvety wine with the characteristically earthy Sangiovese aromas and ripe, balanced fruit flavors offset by a touch of oak.
