Creamy and savory goodness in every bite!
Skip to recipe.
I love gnocchi so much. I could eat it all the time. I also am a sucker for anything that reminds me of fall. I feel like there’s such a limited time that society allows us to eat squash, but I honestly like to cook with it throughout the year. I love the sweet and savory aspect of the sausage and the butternut squash sauce as well.
Ingredient details:
- Gnocchi – I used Kroger’s private selection gnocchi. Most gnocchi’s,
- Butternut Squash – I used a fresh squash and baked and pureed it. If you want to skip this step, you can use frozen and it should still work.
- Beyond sausage – I used Beyond’s brat sausage for this one. I really like it for most sausage dishes when you want sliced pieces of sausage.
- Plant milk – I always use oatmilk, but any kind will do. This helps turn the sauce into a more creamy mixture and make it less thick.
- Vegetable broth – I like adding some vegetable broth in too to give it more of a savory flavor and break down the sweatness of the squash even more.
- Garlic – You can just leave the cloves whole after peeling. You will puree them in the sauce so it doesn’t matter too much.
- Onion – I used a yellow onion for this one. You want onion flavor, but too strong will be overpowering in the sauce.
- Seasonings: Italian seasoning, pepper, salt, crushed red pepper.
