Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tip the squash into a roasting tin with the garlic and oil, salt and pepper and mix well. Roast for 20 mins, shaking the pan halfway through, until tender and golden.
  2. Meanwhile, boil the gnocchi according to pack instructions. With a few secs to go, throw in the spinach, then drain the gnocchi and spinach together. Tip into the roasting tin, then mix everything together well, mashing the softened garlic. Spoon onto warm serving plates, then crumble over the cheese to serve.

I first cooked this about 5 years ago, and keep coming back to it for dinner parties and guests because it's always gone down so well. It's a great option for vegetarians to cook for meat eaters.

Very tasty and looked lovely. I don't think my boyfriend even noticed that there wasn't any meat in it! I used 3 cloves of garlic and it was perfect. I am looking forward to cooking this again when I receive another squash in my veg box.

Really tasty mid-week dinner, and healthy too! Would recommend adding extra garlic as well...

My boyfriend doesn't like goat's cheese, so he had it with feta instead, and still seemed to really enjoy it.

I have made this recipe a couple of times. I used the last of the Christmas stilton instead of goats cheese and threw in some mushrooms to roast towards the end of the squash cooking time, it was delicious.

Did a variarion, leaving out spinach and goat cheese, but adding roasted bacon and sage leaves. As well, replaced butternut with hokaido..
Really delicious!

As a tip, if your gnocchi become dry, use a few spoons of vegetable stock!

Looks amazing. Very tasty & easy to make. Needed to roast the squash for 30 mins but maybe it is my oven. Would also recommend adding more garlic.

Delicious! I replaced the normal goats cheese with a spreadable version, adding it to the gnocchi and spinach when they were still hot. The cheese then melts and covers everything in a nice saucy texture. I also added more garlic, and roasted the squash for longer.

Delicious. We added a chopped red pepper to the butternut squash when roasting for added colour and taste. It also added to our veg in take for the day. This dish has become a regular on our dinner table.

Tasted amazing. Towards the end of cooking I added some pine nuts as well.

It was quick and simple to make. But I hated the taste of the goat's cheese and had to add alot of salt n pepper to get rid of the taste. It is quite a bland meal.

Very good, very easy. Didn't have gnocchi so used penne pasta instead. A real winner though and very pretty. Also added more garlic as people above - it did seem to need it!
