Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh pumpkin puree
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 bunch fresh sage leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pumpkin puree by roasting fresh pumpkin at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes until tender, or use canned pumpkin.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, flour, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and eggs until a soft dough forms. Avoid overworking it.
  3. Divide the dough into four portions and roll each into ropes about ½ inch thick; cut into 1-inch pieces and shape them using a fork.
  4. Boil salted water in a large pot; cook gnocchi in batches until they float (about 2-3 minutes), then remove gently with a slotted spoon.
  5. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat until golden brown; add whole sage leaves to crisp for flavor.
  6. Toss cooked gnocchi in the skillet with the sage butter sauce for another minute before serving.
