Butternut Squash and Sage Gnocchi with Brown Butter Sauce is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is made with fresh butternut squash, sage, and gnocchi, which are then topped with a rich and flavorful brown butter sauce.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 cup of butternut squash, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh sage
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Place the diced butternut squash on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly browned.
Next, prepare the gnocchi by combining the roasted butternut squash, flour, Parmesan cheese, egg yolk, sage, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix until a dough forms.
On a floured surface, roll the dough into long ropes and cut into small pieces. Press each piece with a fork to create ridges.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
While the gnocchi is cooking, prepare the brown butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook until the butter turns a light brown color and has a nutty aroma.
Once the gnocchi is cooked, drain and transfer to a serving dish. Pour the brown butter sauce over the gnocchi and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
