In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 tsp. olive oil and butternut squash. Microwave uncovered until slightly tender, 5-8 minutes.While butternut squash microwaves, place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Add gnocchi to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tender and slightly browned, 5-7 minutes.Remove from burner and transfer gnocchi to a plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve. -

Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
Place another large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.Add broccoli and 2 Tbsp. water to hot pan.

Stir occasionally until vegetables are tender, 2-3 minutes. -
