Description

A delicious and comforting dish featuring homemade pumpkin gnocchi tossed in a rich brown butter sauce with fresh sage.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves
  • Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, egg, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
  3. Roll the dough into ropes and cut into small pieces to form gnocchi.
  4. Boil a pot of salted water and cook gnocchi until they float.
  5. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add sage leaves until the butter turns golden brown.
  6. Toss the cooked gnocchi in the brown butter sauce and serve with grated Parmesan.

Notes

  • Ensure the pumpkin puree is well-drained to avoid a soggy dough.
  • Adjust the amount of flour based on the moisture of the pumpkin.
  • For a vegan version, substitute ricotta with a plant-based alternative and omit the egg.
