Gnocchi with Butternut Squash, Sage and Walnuts

I love the soft and chewy texture of Gnocchi, which are small Italian dumplings typically made of potatoes and flour.  Gnocchi pair well with a variety of sauces, both light and summery and heartier sauces for fall and winter. Here, the flavors and colors of this autumnal dish meld together beautifully for an elegant meal that takes hardly any time to prepare.
