Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 400 FLine baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil; set a side.Slice your butternut squash in half, and discard the seeds. Drizzle about 1 tsp. of olive oil over the squash and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in oven for 30 - 40 minutes (mine was 30 minutes), depending on the size of your squash. Cook until it is fork tender; set a side until cool enough to handle.Scrap the squash from the skin and place in a food processor and puree until smooth. You can also mash with a potato masher. You want to end up with 2 cups of butternut squash puree, reserve the remaining puree for another use.Place squash in a large pot and cook until the liquid has evaporated about 5 - 10 minutes; stirring occasionally. Set squash a side until room temperature.In a large pot, add water and bring to a boil; meanwhile prepare the gnocchi.Place the squash in a bowl, at this point you can add additional seasoning, I added cinnamon and cayenne pepper or you can leave it plain. Add the egg to squash; mix together. Add 1 cup of flour and mix, add remaining flour and mix until dough forms into a ball.On a heavily floured surface knead the dough until it all comes together. If the dough is sticky add a little more flour. Take part of the dough and form it into a long rope about 1/2" round and cut off 1/2" of dough at a time. With a fork you can make little lines, which is optional. At this point you can freeze the gnocchi, by laying on a parchment lined baking sheet and placing in the freezer for 30 minutes, than placing the frozen gnocchi into a freezer bag. To cook, follow directions below.To cook gnocchi, place about 1 cup of gnocchi at a time in boiling water and cook until the gnocchi floats to the top of the water, about 2 minutes. Frozen will take about 3 - 4 minutes.Meanwhile in a large skillet add butter, olive oil and fresh or dried sage; cook until melted. Add gnocchi to butter and sage mixture and cook until all the gnocchi is covered with butter and slightly browned if you prefer.I made the serving size for 5, about 1 cup per person. Since I made my gnocchi so large, however, I measured out about 6 cups.You can top the gnocchi with Parmesan Cheese and crushed pepper flakes if desired.

Food Joke

A Change In Plans Source: "Today's Woman" magazine, Barbara A Tyler. Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. I'm telling you in advance, so don't act surprised. Since Ms. Stewart won't be coming, I've made a few small changes: Our sidewalk will not be lined with homemade, paper bag luminaries. After a trial run, it was decided that no matter how cleverly done, rows of flaming lunch sacks do not have the desired welcoming effect. The dining table will not be covered with expensive linens, fancy China or crystal goblets. If possible, we will use dishes that match and everyone will get a fork. Since this IS Thanksgiving, we will refrain from using the plastic Peter Rabbit plate and the Santa napkins from last Christmas. Our centerpiece will not be the tower of fresh fruit and flowers that I promised. Instead we will be displaying a hedgehog-like decoration hand-crafted from the finest construction paper. The artist assures me it is a turkey. We will be dining fashionably late. The children will entertain you while you wait. I'm sure they will be happy to share every choice comment I have made regarding Thanksgiving, pilgrims and the turkey hotline. Please remember that most of these comments were made at 5:00 AM upon discovering that the turkey was still hard enough to cut diamonds. As accompaniment to the children's recital, I will play a recording of tribal drumming. If the children should mention that I don't own a recording of tribal drumming, or that tribal drumming sounds suspiciously like a frozen turkey in a clothes dryer, ignore them. They are lying. We toyed with the idea of ringing a dainty silver bell to announce the start of our feast. In the end, we chose to keep our traditional method. We've also decided against a formal seating arrangement. When the smoke alarm sounds, please gather around the table and sit where you like. In the spirit of harmony, we will ask the children to sit at a separate table. In a separate room. Next door. Now I know you have all seen pictures of one person carving a turkey in front of a crowd of appreciative onlookers. This will not be happening at our dinner. For safety reasons, the turkey will be carved in a private ceremony. I stress "private" meaning: Do not, under any circumstances, enter the kitchen to laugh at me. Do not send small, unsuspecting children to check on my progress. I have an electric knife. The turkey is unarmed. It stands to reason that I will eventually win. When I do, we will eat. Before I forget, there is one last change. Instead of offering a choice between 12 different scrumptious desserts, we will be serving the traditional pumpkin pie, garnished with whipped cream and small fingerprints. You will still have a choice: take it or leave it. Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. She probably won't come next year either. I am thankful.
