Pumpkin Gnocchi

Print Recipe

A cozy and comforting dish made from pumpkin, perfect for autumn gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Parmesan cheese (for serving)
  • Sage leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by placing the pumpkin puree in a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, salt, and nutmeg into the mixing bowl. Use a fork to blend everything until the mixture is cohesive.
  2. Gradually add in the flour, one half-cup at a time. Mix with a fork or your hands until the dough begins to form, then knead until smooth and elastic.
  3. Divide the dough into four parts. Roll each into a long rope, about ¾ inch thick, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Use the tines of a fork to create ridges on each piece for sauce adherence.
  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil and cook the gnocchi in batches until they float, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, add sage leaves, and toss the cooked gnocchi in the sage butter.
  7. Plate the gnocchi and finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

For a vegan option, use a flax egg instead of an egg. Gnocchi can be frozen and cooked straight from frozen.
