Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (adjust as needed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 fresh sage leaves
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients. If using fresh pumpkin, roast until tender, then blend into a smooth puree.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, flour (starting with 2 cups), and egg. Knead gently to form a soft dough.
  3. Divide the dough into sections and roll each into ropes about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into bite-sized pieces and create ridges with a fork if desired.
  4. Boil salted water in a large pot. Drop in gnocchi and cook until they float (approximately 2 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
  5. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter until golden brown; add sage leaves to crisp up.
  6. Toss cooked gnocchi in the skillet until well-coated in brown butter. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
