This Butternut Squash Gnocchi with Pancetta and Sage comes together in less than 10 minutes! It’s so creamy, comforting, and savory!
If you’ve been following the blog for awhile now then you may remember awhile back I had posted a recipe for Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce. This sauce makes approximately 3 cups which is perfect if you want to make multiple easy meals throughout the week. Or you can also freeze the sauce, then just thaw it out as you need it.
I made a few different recipes using that homemade sauce like this Butternut Squash Pizza with Kale Sage and Pomegranate, as well as this Butternut Squash Spaghetti with Fried Sage and Pancetta.
I still had some pasta sauce leftover after those two recipes, so I decided to mix it in with some gluten free Gnocchi along with some fried Pancetta and Sage. The result? Absolutely Delicious!!
I hope you love this Butternut Squash Gnocchi with Pancetta and Sage as much as I did! It’s:
- Creamy
- Comforting
- Savory
- Easy to make
- and Insanely Delicious!
