    Homemade Squash Gnocchi

    Gnocchi is a great entry point for homemade pasta! This recipe for homemade squash gnocchi don’t require a pasta maker, a food processor, or any fancy unitaskers.

The addition of squash puree ups the seasonal wow factor and nutrition. You can use canned pumpkin, roasted butternut, or any combination of winter squash you have on hand.
