STEPS
INGREDIENTS
Start by peeling and chopping the butternut squash
Put in a wide nonstick pan with some olive oil and the 4-5 thyme sticks
After 5min add some water and season with salt and pepper to taste
Cook for another 10-15 minutes over medium heat, sautéing it regularly. Add more water as it evaporates. Cook more or less according to how soft you want the butternut squash.
Chop the leek
Add it to the pan
Add some water and cover with a lid for 5min to let the leek soften
Remove the lid, add some more oil and sauté for few minutes
Chop the walnuts coarsely
Toss them in the pan
Sauté for another 5min
In the meantime cut the skin off the taleggio
Cut it in pieces
Add the taleggio to the sauce and lower the heat
Add some milk or water to get the sauce creamy as the taleggio melts. Add the cooked gnocchi in (see how to make them among my other guides). Sauté for few minutes to mix everything evenly
Plate them with some freshly grated parmesan on top. Enjoy!
