Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups butternut squash peeled and cubed
  • 1 lb gnocchi store-bought
  • 1 lb Italian sausage casings removed
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 2 tsp fresh sage chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the butternut squash cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Lower the heat and add heavy cream and roasted butternut squash to the skillet. Stir in thyme and sage, heating for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  4. Cook gnocchi in boiling salted water according to package instructions. Drain well without rinsing.
  5. Add the drained gnocchi to the creamy sauce in the skillet. Toss gently to combine and sprinkle in Parmesan cheese until melted.
