Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (adjust as needed)
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp nutmeg (freshly grated)
- 4 fresh sage leaves (or dried if unavailable)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by cleaning your kitchen counter.
- In a bowl, mix pumpkin puree, egg, salt, and nutmeg until smooth. Gradually incorporate flour until you form a soft dough.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into pieces; roll each into ropes about an inch thick and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Create indentations on each piece using a fork to help sauces cling.
- Boil salted water in a large pot. Drop gnocchi in when boiling; cook until they float (about 2-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
- In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat; add sage until fragrant. Toss cooked gnocchi gently until coated and crispy on edges.
