In a medium sized skillet melt butter over medium heat

Step 2

As the butter melts, it will begin to foam

Step 3

The color will slowly turn from a pale yellow to lightly golden and to finally, a toasted brown

Step 4

Once the butter smells slightly nutty it’s ready for the butternut squash

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium/low and add in the butternut squash stirring often

Step 6

Cook until squash is soft enough to be pierced with a fork

Step 7

Increase heat to medium high and add the fresh sage along with the gnocchi, cooking until the gnocchi begins to brown, about 4-5 minutes
