In reply to Molly. So glad to hear you enjoyed! And yes, just that tiny bit sweeter but I also really like the flavor, too.

I made these today, they do taste sweeter than potato, but just a bit. Really enjoyed this. Thanks!

In reply to Robi. I think levels of salt are very much a personal taste. I've never known a gnocchi recipe to use salt, it's more in how you serve them. I certainly wouldn't recommend you add salt to the dough, but maybe cook in salted water. And I can appreciate the goat's cheese doesn't come through much, I sometimes skip myself, but I think it adds to the texture.

These have a very nice texture but are really lacking salt and I'm or sure I could even taste the goat cheese. I'm very impressed that they hold together and stand up so well to boiling water being made of squash.

This recipe is oh so easy and delicious. Adding it to my go-to week night recipes. I made a creamy ricotta , spinach sauce to accompany the gnocchi. Delicious

In reply to Katie Crenshaw | A Fork's Tale. Thanks, it's both very smooth and a lovely flavor. Worth trying for sure! And definitely good with lamb.

This is such a pretty little gnocchi. The acorn squash must add in a creamy sweet texture. It will be perfect with my lamb chops I am making this week. Can't wait to make it.

I have always been intimidated by gnocchi! I love your recipe using the acorn squash! What a great way to sneak those veges in! I guess if your little cutie can make them, so can I! Definitely making these ASAP!

Yum! This sounds like the PERFECT fall recipe. I love gnocchi and the addition of squash sounds so delicious.

In reply to Brian Jones. Thanks, the acorn squash gives such a lovely flavor it's definitely worth trying. I admit I don't tend to try the rolling you often see on gnocchi but these are delicious either way!

In reply to Rhiannon. You know, I had been cooking all my life and never made them until I had kids, but they are such a favorite now I make them often.

I am embarrassed to admit that as much as I love to cook, I have never made my gnocchi from scratch. I think I really must try it - your son looks like he was having a great time 🙂 Every time I eat someone else's home made gnocchi I am reminded that it really is so much better than the pre-packaged ones. This looks lovely.

I love making gnocchi at home, I never get them looking like beautiful little pillows, but you are so right they are so light and fluffy. I've made them with butternut squash before and they were great, this acorn squash version sounds divine!

In reply to Kristen R.. Thanks Kristen, it might be an older post but it's still definitely one of our favorites and we've been having it a fair bit recently. You can just miss the goat's cheese out if you like, it still works fine without it. Alternatively something like ricotta will give you that slight creaminess. Hope you enjoy!

I just stumbled on this and while an old post, it looks excellent! Do you have an suggestions for a substitute for the goat cheese? Sadly I've found that's an ingredient that doesn't agree with me. Thank you!

I have quite a collection of gnocchi recipes ever since I took a class a couple of years ago. I shall certainly add your seasonal recipe - I am amazed at how many different ingredients you can use to make this dish special 🙂

These look sublime but it is your adorable sous chef who stole the show!!! When I was in 3 rd grade my Italian teacher would make gnocchi from scratch on Saturdays and would often invite me over. I still remember them as one of the best things I had ever eaten! Never have made them but know I would love acorn squash ones. Yum!

I love gnocchi and I've always wanted to make my own, but it feels a little daunting! You have definitely inspired me to give it a go soon though! I've never tired acorn squash, but I love most squashes so I don't doubt I'd love this one too! I love the photo of your little one helping out, so cute!! Thanks for bringing these along to Fiesta Friday, they'll definitely be enjoyed by everybody!

I haven't made gnocchi before, but this makes it sound do-able! (and delish!)

In reply to Angie. Thanks, it took me some time, but once I started making my own gnocchi, I wondered why I didn't sooner! And thanks for hosting Fiesta Friday :)
