Description

This savory pumpkin gnocchi is a delightful dish with a rich sage butter sauce. Perfect for fall and winter, it’s comforting and full of flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups pumpkin puree

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 egg

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup fresh sage leaves

Grated Parmesan cheese for serving


Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, egg, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.

2. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.

3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently.

4. Divide the dough into smaller portions and roll each into a long rope, then cut into bite-sized pieces.

5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

6. Drop gnocchi into boiling water and cook until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes).

7. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

8. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add sage leaves.

9. Cook until the butter is golden brown and the sage is crispy.

10. Add the drained gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat in the sage butter sauce.

11. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.


Notes

For a more decadent dish, add a splash of cream to the sage butter sauce.

You can also use frozen pumpkin puree if fresh is not available.
