Rustic, yet luxurious, Butternut Squash Gnocchi with Whiskey Cream Sauce Recipe!

Provided by Sommer Collier

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small butternut squash, (about 1 pound)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg, (cinnamon, or ginger)
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper (to taste)
2 large eggs
2 cups flour
3 tablespoons butter
2 shallots, (finely diced)
4 cloves garlic, (minced)
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup bourbon
1/3 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper
Fresh thyme leaves (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cut the squash in half. Remove the seeds and lay on an oiled, rimmed baking sheet. Roast the squash until soft, 30-40 minutes. Scoop the flesh of the squash out and place it in the food processor. Puree until completely smooth.
  • Mix the pureed squash with parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, pepper and eggs. Then add the flour into the mixture and work together by hand. It will be very sticky.
  • Once smooth, flour a work surface and a large piece of parchment paper. Flour your hands and grab a handful of dough. Roll into a long rope, about ½-inch wide. Cut the rope into ½-inch pieces.
  • Place each piece in the palm of your floured hand (or on the cutting board) and gently roll with a fork to create ridges. Place each piece on the floured parchment paper and repeat with the rest of the dough.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Boil half the gnocchi, then remove and repeat. With each batch, boil until all the gnocchi floats, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat another large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and 2 tablespoons flour, whisk until smooth. Then add the shallots and garlic. Saute for 3 minutes. Then add the bourbon and chicken stock.
  • Whisk and raise heat. Bring the sauce to a boil. Allow the sauce to reduce down to a thin gravy-like consistency. Then lower the heat to medium-low and add the cream. Salt and pepper to taste-usually about 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • Once the gnocchi are finished cooking, remove them with a skimmer and place them directly into the cream sauce. Stir to coat. Serve the gnocchi warm and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 16- to 17.5-ounce package potato gnocchi
1 pound chopped peeled butternut squash, cut into 3/4-inch pieces (3 to 4 cups)
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes
1 red onion, halved and sliced 1/2 inch thick
4 ounces diced pancetta
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups baby arugula
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 ̊ F. Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty foil. Toss the gnocchi, squash, tomatoes, red onion, pancetta, garlic, sage, rosemary, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Spread out on the baking sheet. Bake until the gnocchi, squash and red onion are tender and lightly browned around the edges and the tomatoes are blistered in spots, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Scatter the arugula over the gnocchi mixture and gently toss. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with the cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a firm and heavy squash with a smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Roast the butternut squash properly: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges. Make sure to roast the squash until it is tender and slightly browned.
  • Use a food processor or potato ricer to make the gnocchi: This will help you achieve a light and fluffy texture.
  • Don't overwork the gnocchi dough: Overworking the dough will make the gnocchi tough.
  • Cook the gnocchi in batches: This will prevent them from sticking together.
  • Make the whiskey cream sauce while the gnocchi are cooking: This will ensure that the sauce is hot and ready when the gnocchi are done.
  • Garnish the gnocchi with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley: This will add extra flavor and color to the dish.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash gnocchi with whiskey cream sauce is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The gnocchi are light and fluffy, and the whiskey cream sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
