Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg, salt, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- While the gnocchi are cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Drain the gnocchi and add them to the skillet with the sage butter. Toss to coat.
- Serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan cheese.
Notes
For a richer flavor, brown the butter before adding the sage leaves. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
