This creamy gnocchi make a great first course or "primo piatto". Sweet roasted acorn squash are pureed with a bit of butter and sage and tossed with the hot gnocchi and dotted with fresh Borgonzola cheese. The pungent cheese gets all melty and nicely offsets the sweetness of the squash.

Ingredients

  • acorn squash: 1 piece
  • olive oil: 1 Tbsp
  • salted butter: 2 Tbsp
  • fresh sage: 2 tsp (chopped)
  • salt: 0.5 tsp
  • Potato gnocchi: 1 pack (16 ounce pack)
  • ounces Borgonzola cheese: 4 piece (cut into small pieces)
