Pumpkin Gnocchi

Pumpkin Gnocchi is an Italian dish made primarily from pumpkin. With a soft outer layer and a dense interior, it is paired with a creamy butter and sage sauce, making it rich and flavorful.

👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️

• Pumpkin: 500g

• Flour: 250g

• Eggs: 2

• Grated cheese powder: as needed

• Butter: 50g

• Fresh sage: as needed

• Salt: as needed

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

1. Peel, seed, and cut the pumpkin into chunks. Steam until tender, which can be tested by easily piercing with a chopstick.

2. Mash the steamed pumpkin and add flour, eggs, and salt. Mix well and knead into a dough. Be mindful of the dough's moisture content and do not add too much pumpkin puree at once.

3. Roll the dough into a thin sheet, cut into strips, then roll into thin cylinders and finally cut into small segments to form gnocchi.

4. Sprinkle flour on a tray and dust each gnocchi with flour to prevent sticking.

5. Cook the gnocchi in boiling water until they float to the surface.

6. In a skillet, add butter and sage. Heat until the butter melts and bubbles form, then add the cooked gnocchi. Gently toss to coat with the butter and sage flavor.

7. Optionally, add a small amount of milk to thicken the sauce.

👉🏻✨TIPS

• Be patient when kneading the dough, as it can be sticky but easily forms into a ball.

• Add a spoonful of salt to the boiling water to make the gnocchi more chewy.

• Toss gently and slowly to avoid breaking the gnocchi.
