Stir in 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 2 grated garlic cloves and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest; transfer to a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and a 12-ounce package refrigerated gnocchi to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until crisp, 5 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

POTATO GNOCCHI WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Plate the grated, cooked potatoes on a work surface in a mound. Make a well in the center and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the egg yolk and begin to knead in half the flour. When moistened, add the other half of flour and knead until the dough comes together. let it rest for 2 minutes.
• Fill a large pot with cold water, add 1 teaspoons salt and bring to a boil. Have a bowl of ice water nearby.
• Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/2 inch log. Cut each log into 1/2 inch pieces. When the water is boiling drop the gnocchi into the water and boil until the pieces float to the surface, about 1 minute.
• Remove the gnocchi and plung into the ice water to stop the cooking, then let drain.
• Melt butter in a 10 inch skillet over medium high heat. Stir in mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in cubed roasted squash and cooked potato gnocchi. Add lemon juice, sage strips and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook, tossing occasionally until gnocchi and squash start to brown, about 5 to 8 minutes.

GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOMS AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• For the squash:
• It is easier to dice the neck of the butternut squash uniformly than the bulb, which is important for this recipe. We use the remaining bulb for soup. Cut off and discard the stem end of the squash, then cut off the neck. Use a paring knife or sharp vegetable peeler to slice away the peel deep enough to reach the bright orange flesh of the squash. Trim the neck to straighten the sides, then cut it lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut the slices into 1/2-inch dice. (You need about 3 cups diced squash.) If you have less than 3 cups, peel the bulb of the squash, cut it in half, and scrape out the seeds. Trim and cut as much of the bulb as you need into 1/2-inch dice. Reserve the remaining squash for another use.
• Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Heat a thin film of canola oil over medium heat in a skillet large enough to hold the squash in a single layer (or cook the squash in two batches). When the oil is hot, add the butter and brown it lightly. Add the squash, salt and pepper to taste, and the sage leaves. Cook, stirring the pieces to brown them on all sides, for 4 to 6 minutes, or until tender throughout. Reduce the heat as necessary to cook the squash and brown it lightly, without burning; the best way to see if the squash is fully cooked is to eat a piece. Drain the squash on one end of the paper towel-lined baking sheet and set aside the sage leaves for the garnish. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and set aside.
• For the mushrooms:
• Trim away the tough stems and cut the caps into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Heat a thin film of canola oil in the same skillet over high heat. When the oil begins to smoke, add the mushrooms and salt and sauté for about a minute. The mushrooms will absorb the oil and should not weep any liquid. Add the butter, shallots, thyme, and pepper, then toss and sauté until the mushrooms are thoroughly cooked, 3 to 4 minutes total. Drain the mushrooms on the paper towel-lined baking sheet. The gnocchi should be cooked in two skillets: Wipe out the mushroom skillet with paper towels and add a light coating of olive oil to it and to a second large skillet.
• To complete:
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to each skillet. When the butter has browned, divide the gnocchi between the two skillets and season to taste with salt and pepper. Once the gnocchi have begun to brown, shake and rotate the skillets, tossing the gnocchi so that they brown and crisp on all sides, about 2 1/2 minutes.
• Add the squash, mushrooms, and chives and heat just through. Spoon the gnocchi and vegetables onto serving plates and return one skillet to high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook until it is a rich brown, then quickly add the parsley to crackle for a few seconds. Standing back-the butter will spatter-add a squeeze of lemon half. Spoon the brown butter and herbs over the gnocchi and around the plates. Garnish with the reserved sage leaves.

BUTTERNUT MASCARPONE GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Trim stem and cut butternut squash in half lengthwise. Place in a microwave-safe dish, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave until tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to cool. Discard skin and set squash aside.
• Whisk mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, eggs, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in butternut squash until blended.
• Whisk in 1/2 cup flour until just incorporated. Whisk in remaining 1/2 cup flour, stirring until flour just disappears. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Melt about 1/3 of the butter in large nonstick skillet; remove from heat.
• Scoop out approximately 1 1/2 teaspoons of the butternut squash dough with a spoon. Using a second spoon, push the dough off the first spoon and into the boiling water. Repeat with remaining dough, working in batches of 12 to 15 gnocchi at a time. When a gnocchi rise to the surface, cook for 1 additional minute, then transfer with a slotted spoon to the melted butter in the skillet.
• Place the skillet over medium-high heat; cook gnocchi until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Season with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Turn gnocchi over and stir in sage leaves. Cook until second side is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to plate and drizzle with browned butter from the skillet. Garnish with 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and serve.

GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOMS & BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the gnocchi following pack instructions. When they float to the top of the pan, they are ready. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a large lidded frying pan. Add the onion and mushrooms, cook for 1 min over a high heat, then turn down the heat to medium, put the lid on and cook for 5 mins, stirring a few times.
• Remove the lid and add the garlic, cook for 1-2 mins, then stir the gnocchi into the pan. Scatter over blobs of cheese and the parsley.

VEGETARIAN GNOCCHI WITH SPINACH AND MUSHROOM-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Toss in spinach, basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until spinach is wilted and sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Add gnocchi and stir until coated in sauce; cook for 2 more minutes.

GNOCCHI WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH (SQUACCHI PERHAPS!)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F, 220 degrees C, gas mark 7.
• Toss the squash and oil together in large ovenproof dish, add your seasoning and herbs (a good grind of black pepper works well with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary - I don't think this needs salt so I suggest you go easy if you're adding salt too) and mix well.
• Place the dish on a high shelf in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes until the squash is tender and beginning to brown at the edges: then preheat your grill to high.
• Cook the gnocchi according to the pack instructions (the gnocchi will only take a few minutes to prepare so do this towards the end of the roasting time); drain gnocchi and add to the squash.
• Mix the semi-dried tomatoes with the squash, scatter the feta cheese evenly over the dish then do the same with the parmesan shavings.
• Place under the grill and cook until the cheeses melts and begins to bubble: serve immediately.
