Creamy Butternut Squash Gnocchi

Ultimate Fall comfort food!! One pan recipe that's very flavorful and delicous!

RECIPE:

12 oz chicken sausage

10 oz potato or cauliflower gnocchi

1 cup whole milk

½ cup chicken broth

1 cup butternut squash puree

3 cloves garlic - minced

2 tablespoons fresh sage chopped

2 tablespoons thyme

salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste


Remove sausage from casings and slice it.

Heat a medium heat in a large, high-sided skillet.

Add sliced sausage and cook on medium heat for about 4 minutes on one side, without turning, to get the sausage slices browned. Flip over to the other side and cook for 2 more minutes.

To the same skillet with sausage, add uncooked potato gnocchi, heavy cream, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil on medium heat and stir everything well. Cover with lid, and allow the gnocchi to cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat, while the sauce boils.

To the same pan with gnocchi and sausage, add butternut squash puree, and minced garlic. Bring the sauce to a boil on medium heat, reduce to low-medium heat, stir everything well. Cook for about 3 or more minutes. Make sure the gnocchi are cooked through, the garlic is cooked to your liking, and the sauce thickens. Cook longer if you would like a thicker sauce. Remove from heat.

Stir in half of the fresh sage and half of the fresh thyme. Season with salt and freshly ground coarse black pepper.
