This was a very good recipe, marinating was a great idea. I think the apple flavor was not enough of a "star" in this dish. Marinating it in soy and apple as previously mentioned is a great idea. Good fresh fall dish.

Haven't had brussel sprouts since I was a child, and the taste was not bad, but still bitter. Not sure if I did everything right, but the pistachios didn't add anything. They didn't adhere to the sprouts and they didn't seem to fit the recipe. The carmelizing is an excellent way to make less bitter, but I still tasted the bitterness in the brussel sprouts.

The gnocci was good. If you have to disguise squash, this is a good way to do it. I used only white flour and I used about 3.5 cups. The brown butter sauce suggested was good, but not really worth the time it took to cook it. This was a lot of prep, and good not great.
