Instrucciones

In a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Break apart any stuck-together gnocchi and add to the skillet in an even layer. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until the gnocchi are golden brown underneath and no longer sticking to the skillet, 2 to 4 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, smash together the butter, miso, vinegar and a few grinds of pepper until combined.

Step 3

To the skillet, add the asparagus and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus are bright green and crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the miso butter in spoonfuls. Stir until the butter has melted and gnocchi are glossed with sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stir in the arugula until combined. Serve right away.
