Butternut Squash Gnocchi with Brown Butter and Sage

Gnocchi are essentially bite-sized dumplings with a signature grooved texture. They have been part of Italian cuisine since at least Roman times, offering affordable and filling food incorporating locally accessible ingredients that have changed and diversified over time. Early ingredients were likely semolina, breadcrumbs, and eggs, with potatoes coming later.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds butternut squash (1 small squash)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt, divided, more as needed
  • 2/3 cup (145 grams) whole milk ricotta
  • 1/2 cup (30 grams) freshly grated parmesan, more for serving
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour

For the Brown Butter and Sage Sauce

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh sage leaves
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
