Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cut the bulbous end off the squash and reserve for another use. Remove the stem, then peel the remaining squash and cut in half crosswise. Using a spiralizer, shave the squash into ribbons.
- Put the squash on a baking sheet and toss with the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and roast until tender but still firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted. Add the prosciutto in a single layer and cook until golden and curled around the edges, flipping with tongs halfway through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to cool, then coarsely crumble.
- Add the remaining 5 tablespoons butter to the drippings in the skillet along with the sage leaves and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring often, until the butter is a dark brown color, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Put the squash on a serving platter and drizzle with the butter and sage leaves. Top with the Parmesan and coarsely crumbled prosciutto. Serve immediately.
GNUDI (RICOTTA GNOCCHI)
I've made potato-basil gnocchi before and successfully frozen it but thought I'd try the gnocchi less travelled... gnudi. Gnudi are ricotta-based gnocchi, and are usually made with spinach. However, I forgot to buy spinach and thought I'd use up some of my bumper crop of basil. These are delicate, delicious, and surprisingly easy. The recipe is very forgiving. The basil is intense and wonderful with these little cheese dumplings. I used a mix of both Genovese and Amethyst basil and the results were purple and green! Serve with butter, pesto, or chopped fresh tomatoes, capers and olives as either a main course or a side dish

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add basil and cook uncovered until just wilted, about 1 minute. Immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain. Squeeze very dry and finely chop.
- Mix ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup flour, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg yolks, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add basil, white pepper, and salt; mix until gnudi mixture is well-combined.
- Dust your hands with remaining 1/4 cup flour and form gnudi mixture into small balls.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add lemon juice. Boil gnudi in batches until they float to the top of the water, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
