Roast squash
Heat oven to 425ºF. In a bowl toss the butternut squash with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Spread on a baking sheet. Roast until tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
1
Cook pancetta
In a sauté pan over medium heat, cook pancetta until the fat has rendered and is brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
2
Cook gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Pour in the gnocchi and cook, until they rise to the top, about 3 minutes. Drain gnocchi and return to the pot.
3
Make brown butter
Return the medium sauté pan to the heat over medium. Add the butter and melt. Add sage then continue to cook butter, until toasty-brown color and has a nutty aroma.
