Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1/4 small butternut squash
- 1 free range egg
- About 2 cups flour (or more, I didn't measure it)
- Salt
- Fresh ricotta
- Basil leaves to serve (optional)
- For the sauce:
- 1/4 butternut squash
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 tsp dried sage
- Splash milk (you can use animal or plant based)
Instructions
- Peel and cube the potatoes and butternut squash. Cook till tender, drain, let cool and mash with a fork.
- Add egg, salt and start adding flour gradually, forming a non-sticky dough.
- Divide into 6 parts and start making long snakes from each part. Do this on a surface dusted with flour since the dough still tends to stick. Cut in about 0,5 cm pieces and roll each one over a fork.
- Cook in boiling water.
The sauce:
- Cook the cubed squash, remove water and mash with a fork.
- Add oil, coconut milk, salt, pepper and sage.
- Start adding milk according to how thick you want your sauce to be. Let cook about 5-10 minutes.
- Put in blender and blend till smooth. Combine the sauce with your home made gnocchi and serve immediately with fresh ricotta cheese and basil.
