Indulge in the rich flavors of fall with this delicious homemade butternut squash gnocchi recipe. Combining the natural sweetness of butternut squash with the pillowy texture of gnocchi, this dish is sure to impress your taste buds and delight your dinner guests.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small butternut squash
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • Olive oil or butter for sautéing

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  2. Scoop out the flesh of the roasted butternut squash and mash it in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the beaten egg, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (if using). Mix well to combine. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a rope, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces. Using the back of a fork, gently press each gnocchi to create ridges on one side and a slight indentation on the other. This helps the sauce adhere better to the gnocchi.
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water, working in batches if necessary. Cook the gnocchi for about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate.
  5. In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and sauté until they are lightly golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the sautéed gnocchi to serving plates. Sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper if desired. Serve immediately and savor the delicious flavors of homemade butternut squash gnocchi!

Lasagna is a classic dish that always hits the spot. If you want a meat-free alternative that is super healthy and delicious, try this vegan lasagna recipe that has butternut squash at its heart!

Ingredients

  • 1 large butternut squash
  • 1 tin of green lentils
  • 1 white onion
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 heaped tablespoon of tomato puree
  • 1 heaped tablespoon of plain flour
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 12 ounces of lasagna sheets
  • 1 handful of fresh sage
  • 3 ounces of nutritional yeast
  • 2 cups of oat milk

Instructions

  1. Peel your butternut squash and cut it up into small chunks. Put into a deep baking dish and add half of your olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  2. Roast for about 30 minutes.
  3. Add your garlic about 10 minutes before you remove your butternut squash from the oven. Chop up your onions into small chunks and fry in a saucepan with the other half of your olive oil. Once they have turned translucent, add your roasted squash and garlic.
  4. Stir in your lentils and add your tomato puree and cook for about 15 minutes, adding water if it begins to dry up. You can blend if you want a smoother flavor, but leave unblended if you want more texture and if your squash is small enough.
  5. Meanwhile, you can make your bechamel sauce. Heat some oil in a separate pan and add your flour. Cook for a couple of minutes, before adding your oat milk and stirring well. Cook on a low heat and keep stirring, before adding your nutritional yeast. Taste for flavor and add more salt or nutritional yeast if you want more of a cheesy flavor.
  6. Once your butternut squash sauce and bechamel sauce are cooked, remove them from the heat. In a deep baking dish, add a layer of your squash sauce and spread out to cover the dish. Do the same with your bechamel, before adding a layer of lasagna pasta sheets. Repeat this at least once, until you have run out of squash and bechamel sauces.
  7. Once you have constructed your lasagna, cook in the oven for about 30 minutes, and enjoy!

Lasagna is a classic dish that always hits the spot. If you want a meat-free alternative that is super healthy and delicious, try this vegan lasagna recipe that has butternut squash at its heart!

Ingredients

  • 1 large butternut squash
  • 1 tin of green lentils
  • 1 white onion
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 heaped tablespoon of tomato puree

  • 12 ounces of lasagna sheets
  • 1 handful of fresh sage

  2. Roast for about 30 minutes.
  3. Add your garlic about 10 minutes before you remove your butternut squash from the oven. Chop up your onions into small chunks and fry in a saucepan with the other half of your olive oil. Once they have turned translucent, add your roasted squash and garlic.

This weekend you can prepare a healthy stuffed butternut squash lunch for your family.

Ingredients:

Start by getting the following ingredients: 2 medium butternut squash, 2 cloves minced garlic, 3/4 cup quinoa, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable broth, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, zest of one orange, 1 bunch kale, 1 15oz can low sodium chickpeas, grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup reduced sugar dried cranberries, 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice. Remove the stems of the kale and chop it before you start cooking.

Instructions:

Begin with setting the oven to 425 F degrees and preparing a baking pan. Cut the butternut squash in half and remove the seeds. Place the vegetable on the pan and add some olive oil. Season it with pepper and salt. Bake it for 55 minutes. In the meantime, you can cook the broth until it boils. Include the quinoa, wait until it boils, and cook for extra 12 minutes after it does. Let it cool down for 15 minutes on the side.

Get a skillet in which you’ll add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Cook the kale for 4 minutes, then include the oregano, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook everything together for half a minute. This is when you should add the orange zest, orange juice, chickpeas, quinoa and cranberries.

Remove the insides of the butternut squash, leaving around 1/2-inch on the side and 3/4-inch on the bottom. Put the stuffing on the inside and you can cook the butternut squash for 10 minutes at 375 F degrees. Add the cheese on top. Enjoy your stuffed butternut squash.
