Butternut Squash Gnudi with Sage Butter
The Italian name for these light, fluffy dumplings translates to “nude” in English because they resemble the filling of ravioli without the pasta wrapper. Enjoy this dish on its own, or serve with roast chicken and an Italian red wine for a warming meal when the weather turns cold.
