Homemade Squash Gnocchi

Discover the comforting flavors of autumn with our Homemade Squash Ricotta Gnocchi with Sage-Butter Sauce recipe. Crafted to celebrate the earthy richness of squash and the creamy tanginess of ricotta, these homemade gnocchi transport you straight into the heart of Italian cuisine.

The base for these soft, pillowy dumplings consists of all-purpose flour, creamy ricotta, smooth squash puree, and an egg. A pinch of ground nutmeg adds a warm, subtly sweet undertone to the gnocchi, while a dash of sea salt enhances all the flavors.
