2½ tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 clove/s garlic, finely chopped
500g pack frozen Cooks' Ingredients Butternut Squash Chunks
150ml vegetable stock
2 tbsp single cream
40g Italian vegetarian hard cheese, grated
235g pack ready-washed spinach
500g De Cecco Gnocchi di Patate

In a large, lidded sauté pan or shallow casserole dish, warm 2 tbsp oil over a medium-high heat. Fry the onion and garlic with a pinch of salt for 5 minutes. Add the frozen squash and fry for 5 minutes. Add the stock, cover with a lid, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the squash is soft. Tip the squash mixture into a blender with the cream and two thirds of the cheese and whizz until thick and smooth; season and set aside.
Return the pan to the heat with the remaining ½ tbsp olive oil and fry the spinach for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly, until wilted. Add the squash sauce to the pan and stir everything together. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and add the gnocchi; cook for 2 minutes.
Drain the gnocchi, then stir into the squash and spinach sauce. Scatter with the remaining cheese and a good grinding of black pepper; serve straight away
