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.
