- Divide the dough into 4 sections, roll each into strips about ¾-inch thick, and cut into ¾-inch pieces, rolling each piece against a fork to create ridges.
- Bring 6 cups of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi in batches until they float, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon to a warmed bowl.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat until it deepens in color, then add hazelnuts, sage, and salt, cooking for 1 more minute.
- Remove from heat, add lemon juice, toss in the gnocchi, and top with grated cheese before serving.
