Steps:
- for gnocchi:.
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise, through the stem end, and place on a greased cookie sheet.
- Roast until tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, scoop out and discard the seeds.
- Remove squash flesh (pulp) and place in a sieve.
- Set the sieve over a bowl to catch liquid and allow squash to drain in a refrigerator overnight.
- The next day, puree the squash in a food processor.
- Transfer puree to a bowl and add the eggs and salt, stirring to combine.
- Add the flour and blend thoroughly.
- The dough should feel sticky and soft.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Using a teaspoon, form walnut-sized pieces of dough and push them off the spoon and into the water with your fingers.
- Alternately, use a pastry bag and a small knife.
- Cook the gnocchi in small batches, 10 to 15 pieces.
- Once the gnocchi have risen to the surface, poach for exactly 2 minutes.
- Remove gnocchi with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain.
- Repeat until all the dough is used up.
- for butter sauce:.
- Place butter in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until the foam subsides and the butter begins to lightly brown.
- Add the sage leaves and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add the gnocchi to the browned butter, tossing to coat.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve immediately.
