Gnocchi and Squash Traybake

Gnocchi and Squash Traybake

By OcadoLifePublished on 23 March 2023The perfect family dinner if you’re short on time, this Gnocchi and Squash Traybake by food stylist and writer Rosie Reynolds is easy on the wallet too. Using pre-chopped onions and root veg means it takes just 10 minutes to prep, then you can get on with other things while the oven does the work. The salty-sweet-sticky maple pecan topping adds crunch to the gnocchi and melted blue cheese, for a mouth-watering combination of flavours and textures.
