→ Seasonings & Toppings

09 - Pinch of smoked paprika
10 - Pinch of dried herbes de Provence
11 - Fresh parsley
12 - Salt and black pepper
13 - Three pre-cooked, peeled chestnuts (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Start by heating up your oven to 180°C. Peel the squash and chop into chunks. Toss them on a baking tray with olive oil, paprika, herbes de Provence, garlic, a little salt, and some pepper. Pop it in the oven for 25 minutes.
02 - Blend the roasted squash together with the garlic (peeled), heavy cream, and chestnuts (optional). Add a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
03 - Put the bacon strips in the oven and roast them for about 10 minutes until they're crispy.
04 - Slice up the red onion and sauté it in a pan with olive oil. Once softened, toss in the gnocchi and pan-fry on high heat for 3 minutes. Then, cover the pan and lower the heat, continuing to cook for another 3 minutes.
05 - Mix the squash cream and Parmesan cheese with the gnocchi in the pan. If it looks too thick, add a splash of water. Stir everything together and heat for 2 more minutes.
06 - Plate the gnocchi and top with more Parmesan, fresh parsley, and crumbled crispy bacon.

# Notes:

01 - Feel free to cook the bacon ahead to save time later.
02 - You can adjust how thick or thin you want the sauce.
