Ingredients
  

Gnocchi Dough
  • 1 medium butternut squash peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Sage Butter Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10 leaves fresh sage chopped
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
Garnish
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for serving
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Butternut Squash
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
Make the Gnocchi Dough
  1. Once the squash is roasted, let it cool slightly, then mash it in a mixing bowl. Add the egg and salt, mixing until combined. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
Shape the Gnocchi
  1. On a floured surface, divide the dough into sections. Roll each section into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and use a fork to create ridges.
Cook the Gnocchi
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Make the Sage Butter Sauce
  1. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped sage and cook until the butter is golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine and Serve
  1. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the sage butter, tossing gently to coat. Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
