Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 10 fresh sage leaves
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Gnocchi Dough: In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, egg, salt, nutmeg, and black pepper. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead gently on a floured surface until smooth.
- Shape the Gnocchi: Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and use a fork to create ridges on each piece.
- Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Prepare the Sage Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter is golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the sage butter. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
