Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 5 fresh sage leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve the pumpkin, scoop out seeds, and roast cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 40 minutes until soft.
- Once cooled, scoop out the flesh into a bowl and mash until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree with egg and salt. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead gently on a floured surface until smooth but slightly sticky. Avoid over-kneading.
- Divide the dough into sections, roll into ropes about ½ inch thick, then cut into small pieces. Create ridges using a fork for sauce adherence.
- Boil salted water and cook gnocchi until they float (about 2-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with sage butter or your favorite sauce.
