Roll dough into ball and place on edge of work surface. Cut off a small piece of dough, lightly flour work surface and roll dough into log shape about the thickness of a medium sized cigar. Cut 1 inch pieces off of log at slight angle. Drop pieces into pot of boiling salted water and cook about 1 ½ minutes. Remove from water and set aside. Repeat through rest of dough. Put butter and sage in cold, non-stick skillet and turn flame to medium high. When butter has melted and is just beginning to brown, place warm gnocchi in skillet and toss gently with butter and sage about 1 minute. Toss in parmesan and serve immediately.
