Ingredients

  • 10 oz pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup ricotta
  • 1 ½ cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • c butter
  • 15 sage leaves

Instructions

  • For the sauce: In a small skillet, melt the butter and cook while stirring, until you see golden-brown flecks.
    Add the sage leaves and set aside.
  • For the gnocchi, combine pumpkin puree, ricotta, flour, egg, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix into a uniform dough.
  • On a floured worksurface and with floured hands, roll the dough into a long rope. Cut into small pieces, about 1" long. Optional: gently press a pattern into the gnocchi with the tines of a fork or gnocchi boards.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add some salt and the gnocchi.
  • Cook the gnocchi until they are floating to the surface.
  • With a slotted spoon, remove the gnocchi and transfer them to individual plates. Drizzle with sage butter sauce, some fresh ground pepper, and a generous helping of freshly grated parmesan.

Notes

  • You can easily replace the pumpkin with butternut squash which is actually my preferred squash for this recipe. 
  • I love using einkorn flour for this recipe.
  • Optional: add some freshly grated nutmeg to the gnocchi dough.
