Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups roasted butternut squash, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lb sausage links, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh sage or thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast butternut squash until tender, then mash until smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, combine mashed squash, egg, salt, pepper, and flour to form a soft dough.
  3. Divide dough into portions and roll into ropes, then cut into bite-sized gnocchi.
  4. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, cook gnocchi until they float, then drain.

  6. Add cooked gnocchi to the skillet, toss to combine, and cook for another 2 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.
