How to Make Pumpkin Gnocchi

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mash the cooked pumpkin until smooth. Add the flour, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until a dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  4. Roll the dough into a long rope, about 1 inch thick.
  5. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces.
  6. Use a fork to create ridges on each gnocchi piece.
  7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes).
  8. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  9. While the gnocchi cooks, melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Cook until golden brown and nutty (optional, omit for vegan version).
  10. Add the gnocchi to the browned butter (or a pan with olive oil for vegan version) and toss to coat.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite sauce, such as sage butter, pesto, or a simple tomato sauce.
