Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  • Prepare Gnocchi Mixture: Add squash, gnocchi and shallots to a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, combine 3 to 4 Tbsp. olive oil, grated Parmesan, rosemary or thyme, granulated garlic, salt, and black pepper; stir well to combine.
  • Pour mixture over squash and gnocchi and toss generously to coat. Spread gnocchi mixture into an even layer.
  • Add Sausage: Pinch off bite-size pieces of the sausage and place them throughout the baking sheet. (It's fine if some of the sausage is on top of the gnocchi and veggies, but try to find little nooks where it can be nestled into.)
  • Bake for 30 minutes, tossing once after 20 minutes.
  • Whip Ricotta: You can whip the ricotta cheese either in a food processor or by hand. – Food Processor: Combine ricotta, 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Blend on high speed for 1 minute, scrapping down the sides as needed, until light and airy. – Bowl + Whisk: Combine ricotta, 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper in a large mixing bowl and use a metal whisk to mix vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes, until light and airy.
  • Prepare Arugula Mixture: Combine arugula, shaved Parmesan, a light drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper in a mixing bowl; toss to combine.
  • Assemble: You can assemble this dish one of two ways: – Option 1: Spread whipped ricotta on a plate and top with gnocchi and sausage mixture. Top with arugula salad and drizzle generously with balsamic glaze. – Option 2: Scatter arugula mixture directly over components on baking sheet and drizzle everything generously with balsamic glaze. Serve over whipped ricotta in a wide-rimmed bowl or plate.
  • If desired, garnish with pomegranate seeds/arils for a pop of bright, fresh flavor.
