Butternut squash gnocchi with Amaretto caramelised prawns SERVES 4 GNOCCHI INGREDIENTS 350g butternut squash, roasted 200g flour (100) 400g potato 3 bunches thyme 2 egg yolks 1 tsp grated nutmeg 1 tsp white pepper 1 tsp salt 1 tsp sage, julienned 3 black tiger prawns (16/20), cleaned 1 shot Amaretto METHOD 1 Peel and de-seed the butternut squash, cut it into chunks, wrap it in aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 200C. 2 Place the potatoes (whole and with skin) in a pot of cold, salted water with the thyme and bring to a boil, cooking for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Strain and let rest for a few minutes, but not until room temperature, otherwise the final dough will not work. While the potatoes are still more than warm, peel them and squeeze them along with the pumpkin making a small mound on your table top. Once done make a small hole at the top (like a volcano) and add the egg yolks. Sprinkle this mound with the nutmeg, white pepper, salt and a quarter of the flour.

Put a pot of salted water to boil. Now you need to be fast. With clean hands start forming the dough by pushing, pulling and pressing the mixture, until all ingredients are perfectly mixed into one and until you use the entire flour. It should be of mid-firm consistency. Cut off small pieces at a time and roll them into sausages about 3cm thick, then with a spatula cut through the dough every fourth cm, forming little rectangles. Repeat until the entire dough is finished. Place the gnocchi in the boiling water, give a nice and gentle stir and wait for them to rise to surface. They should float for about two minutes to reach the perfect cooking. In a pan place a nut of butter and let it melt, add the shrimp (cleaned from head, shell and vein) laid nicely on one side, after about one minute turn them to the next side for one more minute and then pour the Amaretto di Saronno on top and let it flame. Strain your floating gnocchi and add them to the pan with the shrimp. Place one more piece of butter and just let it melt coating all of your gnocchi. Add the julienned sage and saute for a few seconds. Serve on a warm plate
