part 2 of my butternut squash fascination! This time baked the squash and then put the flesh into a colander overnight to drain. Then I mashed it, mixed in egg & flour (the exact amount of flour will vary due to humidity and wetness of the squash)and created yummy little dumpling! part 2 of my butternut squash fascination!

    roll piece of dough into a small snake, cut into 1/2 inch pieces, flour the tines of a fork. use your thumb to roll dough down the back of the fork or simply cook the little pieces cut from the snake. it takes some practice to get gnoochi to look like picture! - 11/20/12

    Maybe I didn't do it right but mine ended up tasting very wheaty. Once in a while I would get a bite that was really bursting with squash flavor, and those were good, but overall, not impressed. Way to much work for the flavor. Won't be repeating. - 1/7/13
