One Pot Whole 30 Gnocchi with Sausage and Butternut Squash

With all this "stay at home" time and colder weather than usual, for this time of the year, I am craving comfort food ... anyone else? This little dish has been on repeat lately, and I thought I'd share it with you today. It will take you about 30 mins to prepare, and you'll get that "comfort meal" feeling, while still nourishing your body!

What I also want to share is that taking care of your immune system is so important, always is, but especially as we navigate this time with the coronavirus.

To strengthen your immune system, the key vitamins, and minerals are Vitamin A, D, E, K, zinc, B, and C vitamins, and the right mix of essential fatty acids like Omega 6 and 3. Replacing canola and vegetable oils that are highly inflammatory and counterproductive to helping your body heal.

This dish accomplishes all of that - and comes together in about 35 minutes.

Using pasture-raised pork and quality fats provides the right mix of vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as your omegas. The butternut squash, arugula, lemons, and sage add in trace amounts of zinc, Vitamin C, and other essential B vitamins.

So you get all the comfort of a one-pot dish that is also very nourishing to your immune system.

This dish will feed four people easily, and I like to pair it with a crisp sauvignon blanc or a spicy zinfandel. Cheers, y'all!! This is how you quarantine well!!
