Gnocchi

Roasted Delicata Squash

Arugula Salad

Method

Preparing the Roasted Delicata Squash

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Slice the Squash

    Cut the delicata squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Then cut it into half-moon slices.

  3. 3

    Season and Roast

    In a bowl, toss the squash slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, turning halfway through.

Making the Pumpkin Seed Pesto

  1. 4

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine pumpkin seeds, fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

Cooking the Gnocchi

  1. 5

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.

  2. 6

    Cook Gnocchi

    Add the potato gnocchi to the boiling water. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  3. 7

    Sauté Gnocchi

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked gnocchi and sauté until golden and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

Preparing the Arugula Salad

  1. 8

    Toss the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine fresh arugula. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Plating

  1. 9

    Combine and Serve

    On a serving plate, arrange the sautéed gnocchi, roasted delicata squash, and a generous dollop of pumpkin seed pesto. Serve with the arugula salad on the side.
