Flu, snow and unexpected things in my fridge

I am stuck at home with flu. Outside snow is glowing in a winter sun and I sneeze, cough and sip hot tea, wrapped in duvet.What should I eat? Nothing exciting in the fridge..well, there is a small piece of goat's cheese, bag of spinach and some sad looking butternut squash. Oh, and gnocchi! Now I can call it a lunch!





450g butternut squash , peeled and cut into small chunks
3 garlic cloves
olive oil
500g pack gnocchi
200g bag spinach
100g goat's cheese

Heat oven to 200C.  Tip the squash into a roasting tin with the garlic and oil, salt and pepper and mix well. Roast for 20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until tender and golden.
Meanwhile, boil the gnocchi. With a few secs to go, throw in the spinach, then drain the gnocchi and spinach together. Tip into the roasting tin, then mix everything together well, mashing the softened garlic.Crumble the goat's cheese over and bake for few more minutes.
