Cooking Steps

Roast  the Butternut
1
  • Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Pick the sage leaves and roughly chop (discard the stalks).
  • Pop the butternut onto a large (lined) baking tray. Toss with sage, salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil. Spread them out in a single layer.
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until soft and golden, 18-20 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Time to Fry
2
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the garlic, gnocchi and cracked black pepper
  • Cook, shifting regularly, until golden and crispy all over, 8-12 mins.

NOTE: Adding bacon lardons? Add to the pan along with the gnocchi then follow the recipe as written.

Simmer the Sauce

  • Meanwhile, zest and quarter the lemon. Bash or roughly chop the hazelnuts
  • Once everything is cooked, add the butternut, creme fraiche, lemon zest, muscat and a knob of butter to the pan with the gnocchi.
  • Mix well and simmer for 2-3 mins. Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if necessary.
  • Stir through the honey and season to taste with salt and pepper
Divide and Serve
