Ingredients

7 total
  • 3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
  • 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and cut into 2cm chunks
  • 80 g of unsalted butter
  • 50 g of parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 800 g of fresh gnocchi
  • 20 g of fresh sage, leaves picked and roughly chopped

Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Scatter the squash pieces and garlic onto a non-stick oven tray, drizzle with the oil, season well and toss together to coat. Place in the oven and cook for 25 mins.

  2. Step 2

    After 20 mins, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and carefully place the gnocchi in the water. They will only take a couple of minutes to cook and you’ll know they’re done because they’ll start to float to the top of the water.

  3. Step 3

    Drain the gnocchi and leave to steam. Melt the butter with the sage in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter is foaming, add the gnocchi and toss to coat everything.

  4. Step 4

    Remove the squash from the oven and add to the gnocchi, toss again but be gentle as the gnocchi will be delicate. Serve immediately with a scattering of parmesan or pecorino cheese. Cook’s tip: If you don’t have a large pan, cook the gnocchi in two pans – if they don't have space to cook they can get sticky.
