Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cubed butternut squash
  • 1 red onion, halved and sliced
  • 16 ounce shelf-stable gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped sage leaves
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 uncooked spicy Italian chicken or pork sausages
  • 4 ounces feta or goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2-3 tablespoons hot honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Lemon zest

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • knife
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On the prepared baking sheet, add the butternut squash, red onion slices, and gnocchi. Drizzle with olive oil, then add fresh thyme, sage, garlic powder, salt, and a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper. Use clean hands to toss everything together until well coated in oil and spices. Spread into a single layer on the baking sheet.
  3. Remove the sausage from its casing and place in 1-inch pieces on the baking sheet. It's okay if some of the sausage covers the gnocchi or veggies.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes total, gently stirring the veggies and gnocchi halfway through.
  5. Remove from the oven and crumble feta or goat cheese over the top. Bake for 5 more minutes to warm the cheese.
  6. Drizzle with hot honey, garnish with fresh thyme leaves, and add lemon zest on top. Enjoy warm!
