Chorizo Gnocchi Recipe
Ingredients

- 500 g butternut squash diced
- 4 medium red onions diced
- 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 3 cups spinach
Instructions
- Dice the red onion and butternut squash, and finely chop the garlic

- Once the butternut squash is soft, add the cooked gnocchi and spinach to the pan and cook until the spinach has wilted
