Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh pumpkin puree (from about 1 small sugar pumpkin)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg yolk
- ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 10 sage leaves
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the pumpkin in half, remove seeds, and place cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes until tender. Cool and scoop out the flesh.
- In a bowl, mash the pumpkin until smooth. Mix in egg yolk and salt, then gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
- On a floured surface, roll dough into ropes about ¾-inch thick and cut into bite-sized pieces. Gently press each piece with a fork.
- Boil salted water in a large pot. Add gnocchi and cook until they float, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add sage leaves; cook until crispy (about 2 minutes). Toss cooked gnocchi in the sage butter before serving.
