Stockfish claims that 11...Nxd4 was the best move.

If I turn on the "live analysis", it shows -0.3 for 11...Nxd4
If I then play Nxd4 the live analysis very quickly jumps to +1.3 (!)
Continues with : 11...Nxd4 12.Nxd4 Bc5 13.Be3 Qxb2 14.Qd2! Qxa1 15.Nc3 Qxf1+ 16.Kxf1 a7a6 with still a +1.4
However, the move I played 11...Ne7 gets a +0.4 in the analysis, and seems sensible to me. Why would I sacrifice a knight for just 2 pawns without any endgame compensation like e.g. far advanced pawns ?
