Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 small butternut squash or 1/4 large
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 large apple
  • 8 oz mushrooms
  • 1 bunch of fresh sage
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp-1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 16 oz pre-made gnocchi
  • 1/2-1 cup pasta water
  • toasted walnuts optional
  • crumbled bacon optional

Instructions
 

  • Thinly slice the butternut squash and onion, then dice the apple.
  • Melt butter over medium heat, add the vegetables, and begin sauteing. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and let cook, stirring occasionally so that the squash doesn't stick.
  • Clean and slice the mushrooms and chop the sage. Add them to the pan with the other ingredients, then sprinkle with brown sugar and mix to combine.
  • Bring a pot of water to boil and cook gnocchi according to package directions. Once cooked, add directly to the pan with the squash and the desired amount of pasta water.
  • Take off the heat and serve. If desired, top with toasted walnuts or bacon.
