This chicken and gnocchi pasta is our suggestion for a quick meal tonight. They’re tucked in a savory pesto sauce, and served with some baby spinach and shredded parmesan for that nice Italian flavor. Butternut squash might seem out of place at first, but if you include it, it will bring the flavor up to the main stage!
