Ingredients:
1 lb butternut squash, peeled deseeded and cut into 1/2 inch chunks ( 1 small or 1/2 average sized squash will yield this amount)
3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes ( from a jar of semi-dried tomatoes in olive oil)
2 tablespoons oil, from the jar or 2 tablespoons plain olive oil
1 (500 g) packages of fresh gnocchi
100 g feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, shavings
seasoning (suggestions given in the instructions) or herbs, of your choice ( suggestions given in the instructions)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F, 220 degrees C, gas mark 7.
Toss the squash and oil together in large ovenproof dish, add your seasoning and herbs (a good grind of black pepper works well with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary – I don’t think this needs salt so I suggest you go easy if you’re adding salt too) and mix well.
Place the dish on a high shelf in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes until the squash is tender and beginning to brown at the edges: then preheat your grill to high.
Cook the gnocchi according to the pack instructions (the gnocchi will only take a few minutes to prepare so do this towards the end of the roasting time); drain gnocchi and add to the squash.
Mix the semi-dried tomatoes with the squash, scatter the feta cheese evenly over the dish then do the same with the parmesan shavings.
Place under the grill and cook until the cheeses melts and begins to bubble: serve immediately.
