  • 500g potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups cubed butternut squash
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast for 25 minutes until tender and caramelized.

While the squash roasts, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface; drain and set aside.

Immediately whisk in the white miso paste and minced garlic until smooth.
6
Add the sage leaves to the butter, frying them for 30 seconds until crisp.
