Butternut Squash Gnudi with Brown Butter and Crispy Sage
What to do with leftover squash besides make a soup? That was my predicament. Sure, a butternut soup would be good. Add some crusty bread and a green salad, and you’d have a meal worthy of guests. I should say, a healthy meal worth of guests. But I would not be having any guests, and...
