Pumpkin Gnocchi Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh pumpkin or canned pumpkin, drained
  • 1 cup starchy potato such as Russet or Yukon Gold
  • 1 teaspoon salt for cooking water and seasoning
  • 1.5 cups flour adjust as needed for dough consistency
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter or olive oil as a lighter option
  • 1 handful fresh sage can substitute with thyme or rosemary

  • colander
  • potato masher
  • Mixing bowl
  • fork
  • Slotted Spoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and dicing the fresh pumpkin and starchy potato into small cubes. Boil them in salted water for about 10-15 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Drain the vegetables and return them to the pot, mashing them together until smooth and fluffy. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  3. Mix in a pinch of salt and gradually incorporate flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  4. Divide the dough into four equal portions, roll each into a log about ½ inch thick, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Shape as desired.
  5. Boil salted water, drop in gnocchi, and cook for 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to remove them.
  6. Melt vegan butter in a pan, add fresh sage leaves, and let sizzle for 3-5 minutes until crispy and fragrant.
  7. Drizzle the sage butter over plated gnocchi, optionally garnishing with toasted pumpkin seeds or vegan parmesan, and serve immediately.
