As the weather turns colder, there's nothing more comforting than a bowl of warming gnocchi. Whilst you roast your seasonal British squash, you'll also be creating a delicious sage burnt butter sauce (known as a 'beurre noisette'). You'll then stir in the gnocchi, before topping your dish off with crispy bacon shards.

Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 395°F/ Gas 6
Boil a kettle, then slice the seasonal squash in half and scoop out the seeds, discarding them
Tip: for easier chopping, use a bread knife (oiling the knife helps too!)
Note: our seasonal squashes will come in all colours, shapes and sizes, but don't worry – the method will stay the same!
2
Slice each squashhalf into 1cm wedges
Add the squash wedges to a baking tray and put the tray in the oven for 20-22 min or until softened with a slight bite
Meanwhile, strip the sage leaves and chop them finely, discarding the stems
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
3
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Add the smoked streakybacon and cook for 3-4 min or until crisp, turning once halfway
Once crisp, transfer it to a plate and set aside
Reserve the pan
4
Meanwhile, add the gnocchi to a pot of boiled water with a large pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat
Cook the gnocchi for 3 min or until it begins to rise to the top of the pot
Once done, drain the gnocchi, reserving a cup of the starchy cooking water
5
Meanwhile, wipe the bacon pan clean with kitchen paper and return it to a medium heat
Add 50g [100g]butter with the chopped garlic and chopped sage and cook for 2 min or until foaming and beginning to turn a light brown colour – this is your sage burnt butter
6
Meanwhile, break the crispy bacon into shards (clean hands is the best way!)
7
Add the drained gnocchi to the sage burnt butter with the roastedsquash wedges and half the grated Italian hard cheese
Season with a pinch of salt and a very generous grind of black pepper and give everything a good mix up
Tip: add a small splash of starchy cooking water if the sauce is looking a little dry!
