Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 10 fresh sage leaves, chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. If using fresh pumpkin, slice in half and roast until tender (about 30 minutes). Allow to cool before scooping out the flesh.
- In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree, flour, egg, chopped sage, and salt. Mix gently until combined; avoid overworking the dough.
- Lightly flour your surface and roll the dough into ropes about ½ inch thick. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Boil salted water in a large pot. Drop in gnocchi; they are ready when they float to the top (about 2 minutes).
- For sage butter sauce, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat with additional sage leaves until crispy. Toss cooked gnocchi in the sauce and serve immediately with grated Parmesan cheese.
