Prep Time 20 Min | Cook Time 25 Min | Serves 2-4

Ingredients

  • 17 oz potato gnocchi
  • 1 tsp rosemary sprigs, chopped
  • 2 cups butternut squash, diced and roasted
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 4 oz pancetta
  • 2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

  • Start by boiling a pot of salted water. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, about 3 minutes, then drain and set them aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté pancetta until it’s crispy and golden brown. Remove the crispy pancetta from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and cook until it’s soft and translucent. Season with rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Add diced butternut squash and combine with the crispy pancetta. Pour in additional broth to get the consistency you desire.
  • Add the cooked gnocchi and gently stir to combine all the ingredients. Finish by sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it’s melted and the sauce thickens.
  • Enjoy!
