Ingredients
Directions
- Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high.
- Halve the butternut squash lengthwise, scoop out and discard the seeds and pulp. Using a sharp, sturdy knife, peel the squash and discard the peel. Small dice the squash.
- Pick the sage leaves off the stems and discard the stems. Thinly slice the sage leaves. Crumble the ricotta cheese.
- In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the diced squash and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 9 minutes, or until tender. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe down the pan.
- Add the butter to the same pan used to cook the squash. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 30 seconds, until the butter foams. As the foam subsides, continue cooking, stirring occasionally and swirling the pan, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until deep golden brown and nuttily fragrant. Be careful not to overcook, as the butter can burn easily.
- While the butter browns, add the gnocchi to the pot of boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender. Reserve ½ cup of the gnocchi cooking water, then drain the gnocchi thoroughly and transfer to the pan of browned butter.
- To the pan of gnocchi and browned butter, add the cooked squash, sage, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, cinnamon, and half of the reserved gnocchi cooking water. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining gnocchi cooking water to achieve your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving dish.
