How to Make Pumpkin Dumplings Gnocchi Di Zucca Alla Versiliese

  1. Cube 1kg of pumpkin into 2cm pieces. Add to a large saucepan with 200ml of water and a pinch of salt.
  2. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, or until the pumpkin is completely soft and easily mashed.
  3. Mash the cooked pumpkin thoroughly using a potato masher or food mill until completely smooth. Let cool completely.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooled pumpkin puree with 2 large eggs. Gradually add 300-400g of all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. The dough should be thick enough to hold its shape when spooned.
  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Using a spoon or a gnocchi board (optional), shape the dough into small dumplings (about 1-2 tablespoons of dough each).
  6. Gently drop the dumplings into the boiling water. They are ready when they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes).
  7. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and immediately toss them with 50g of melted butter and 50g of grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious flavors of Versilia and Garfagnana!
