If you were to describe this meal in three simple words, it would be these: soft, sweet, and rich. Both butternut squash and gnocchi are nicely soft for the tooth, and butternut provides delightful sweetness. But the richness… gnocchi, Alfredo sauce, and Asiago all combine together for a decadence that'll lift your soul. You'll need to open a second bank account after eating this meal.
