On every Thanksgiving day, I'm one of the few who will retire in a stupor that decidedly will NOT be induced by that 'Turkey-philic' amino-acid, Tryptophan. Mine invariably is a blissful state of lethargy brought about by sheer Carbo loading, despite my best efforts to achieve a balanced feast.. All it takes is the dessert pies to upset that apple cart!. <br /> <br />I definitely include the traditional ingredients as far as possible. Squash, sweet potato, corn & beans.. <br />This was from a Thanksgiving dinner about 4 years ago when I had just bought a little gnocchi shaping gadget that I was itching to try. There is absolutely no potato involved in this pasta, but the results were better than I expected. The sweetness of the roasted squash and Sweet potato is offset not by heat from chile pepper,but from the spiciness brought about by the addition of a tablespoon of fresh ginger extract.
