The method

1

Get your oven to 165°C and throw your cubed squash onto a tray with olive oil, salt, pepper, and nutmeg - roast for 35 minutes while you prepare everything else.

2

At the same time, boil the potatoes in salted water until soft. Drain, mash while hot, then spread it out so it cools quickly.

3

Place your mashed potatoes in the fridge to cool. While they are cooling, brown some butter in a pan - just melt it and let it foam until it smells nutty. Let that cool slightly too.

4

Once the potatoes are cold, mix them with cream cheese, the brown butter, 1 egg yolk, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Season with salt and pepper. Roll it into ropes, slice into gnocchi, and get a pot of salted water boiling.

5

Drop the gnocchi in - when they float (about 4 minutes), scoop them into ice water, then coat lightly in olive oil so they don’t stick.

6

To finish, quickly pan-fry the gnocchi in a little butter or olive oil until golden, toss in your roasted squash, and serve with grated cheese and toasted pumpkin seeds.
