Ingredients

Butternut Squash

500 g, peeled, deseeded and cut into chunks

Onion

2 medium, sliced into wedges

Calorie controlled cooking spray

5 spray(s)

Sage, Dried

1 teaspoon(s), level, or use about a dozen of fresh sage leaves to garnish

Gnocchi, Fresh

400 g, pack

Medium fat soft cheese

200 g, tub, with herbs

Skimmed Milk

6 tablespoon(s)

Salt

1 pinch

Black pepper

1 teaspoon(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6/200°C/400°F.
  2. Put the squash and onions into a roasting tin and spray with low fat cooking spray. Season. Roast for about 40 minutes, until tender, turning the vegetables and adding the sage leaves after 20 minutes.
  3. Cook the gnocchi according to pack instructions, timing it so that it is ready when the vegetables are done.
  4. Gently heat the low fat soft cheese in a large saucepan, stirring in the milk to make a smooth sauce. Add the cooked gnocchi and stir gently to coat. Mix with the vegetables, sprinkle with ground black pepper and serve, garnished with sage leaves.

Notes

Look out for gnocchi tricolore which means it comes in three colours – white, green and orange.
