Winter Squash Gnocchi with Brown Butter & Sage Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-61574

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 head of garlic, top third cut off
Extra-virgin olive oil, for rubbing
1 pound baking potatoes
1 (2-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
1/4 cup fresh ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, minced
Kosher salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 stick unsalted butter
10 sage leaves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Place racks in the lower and middle thirds of the oven. Drizzle the garlic with olive oil, wrap it tightly in foil and roast on the bottom rack of the oven for 50 minutes. Lightly rub the potatoes with olive oil, prick them all over with a fork and bake on the lower rack for 45 minutes, until fork-tender. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Add the squash and rub with olive oil. Bake on the upper rack for about 30 minutes, stirring once, until soft. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a small bowl and mash to a paste. Peel the hot potatoes and pass them through a ricer into a large bowl. Add the hot squash to the ricer and pass it into the bowl with the potatoes. Let cool slightly. Add the egg yolks, ricotta, parsley, 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of the mashed roasted garlic (reserve any extra for another use). Stir until combined. Sprinkle on the 1 1/4 cups of flour and gently stir it in. Scrape the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth but still slightly sticky. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and dust with flour. Cut the gnocchi dough into 5 pieces and roll each piece into a 3/4-inch-thick rope. Cut the ropes into 1/2-inch pieces and transfer the gnocchi to the baking sheet. Lightly oil another baking sheet. In a large, deep skillet of simmering salted water, cook half of the gnocchi until they rise to the surface, then simmer them for 1 to 2 minutes longer, until cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the gnocchi to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining gnocchi. In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the sage and thyme and cook for 20 seconds. Add the gnocchi and cook for 1 minute, tossing gently. Season with salt and serve, passing the cheese shavings at the table. MAKE AHEAD The gnocchi can be prepared through Step 3 and frozen on the baking sheet, then transferred to a resealable plastic bag and frozen for up to 1 month. Boil without defrosting.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1 1/2 lb) butternut squash
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 ounces unsalted butter
12 fresh sage leaves
2 ounces parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup)
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • for gnocchi:.
  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise, through the stem end, and place on a greased cookie sheet.
  • Roast until tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • When cool enough to handle, scoop out and discard the seeds.
  • Remove squash flesh (pulp) and place in a sieve.
  • Set the sieve over a bowl to catch liquid and allow squash to drain in a refrigerator overnight.
  • The next day, puree the squash in a food processor.
  • Transfer puree to a bowl and add the eggs and salt, stirring to combine.
  • Add the flour and blend thoroughly.
  • The dough should feel sticky and soft.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Using a teaspoon, form walnut-sized pieces of dough and push them off the spoon and into the water with your fingers.
  • Alternately, use a pastry bag and a small knife.
  • Cook the gnocchi in small batches, 10 to 15 pieces.
  • Once the gnocchi have risen to the surface, poach for exactly 2 minutes.
  • Remove gnocchi with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain.
  • Repeat until all the dough is used up.
  • for butter sauce:.
  • Place butter in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until the foam subsides and the butter begins to lightly brown.
  • Add the sage leaves and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Add the gnocchi to the browned butter, tossing to coat.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For best results, use a firm, ripe squash such as butternut or kabocha. Avoid squash that is soft or has bruises.
  • Cut the squash into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not get as crispy.
  • Toss the squash and gnocchi in olive oil: This will help them to crisp up in the air fryer. You can also add a little salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook the squash and gnocchi in batches: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly. If you crowd the air fryer, the food will not cook properly.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking: This will help to prevent the food from sticking to the basket and will also help the food to cook evenly.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Once the squash and gnocchi are cooked, garnish them with fresh herbs such as sage, rosemary, or thyme. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Air fryer gnocchi and squash with brown butter and sage is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The squash and gnocchi are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the brown butter and sage sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
