This is a recipe that I've had the idea for in my head for a few weeks now, but we've been so busy that I haven't taken the time to give it a try. Last night was the night, and I was very excited with the outcome. . .Give it a try and let me know what you think!
1 lb. Fresh or Frozen Gnocci (Of course, you can make your own. I'm just not that patient or talented!)
3-4 Medium Squash, Zucchini, or any combination of the two, cut into bite-sized pieces (I used yellow squash and zucchini.)
1/2 of an Onion, very finely diced
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 Cup White Wine (May be omitted if you prefer.)
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Cup Chicken Stock
1 Teaspoon Nutmeg
1 Tablespoon Sage
1 Bunch Watercress (You can also use spinach, arugula, etc.)
2 Tablespoons Butter
Olive Oil
Salt
Peper
Fresh Parmesan Cheese, grated
2 Scallions, thinly sliced
For the Squash:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the squash on a pan and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 10-15 minutes until tender. When removed from oven, stir in greens to wilt.
For the Gnocci:
Put on a large pot of water to boil. While water is boiling, melt butter with a little olive oil in a sautee pan. Sautee garlic and onion until tender. Deglaze the pan with wine and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add in cream, stock, sage, nutmeg, and salt and pepper (to taste). Let simmer for 10-15 minutes until thickened. Once water is boiling, add gnocci and cook for 3-5 minutes until they are done (This usually happens when they start to float to the top.) Drain cooked gnocci and add into thickened cream sauce.
To Serve:
Place squash and greens on a large platter. Pour gnocci in sauce over the squash. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and sliced scallion.
Enjoy!!!
