Pumpkin Gnocchi
Soft and pillowy, these dumplings are beautiful and packed with extra vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Pair them with your favorite protein for a complete meal.
Add pumpkin purée, mashed potatoes, flour, salt and nutmeg to a bowl. Mix to incorporate ingredients using a spatula. Gently knead dough with your hands to smooth out any lumps. Do not over mix dough as it will become tough. Add a little extra flour at a time if needed to hold the dough together.
Cut the dough into four equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, then cut into 1-inch bites. Dust gnocchi with a little flour and then press one gnocchi at a with the backside of a fork or gnocchi board if you have one. Arrange in a single layer on a lightly floured or parchment covered tray or baking sheet.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop in a handful of gnocchi at a time and cook for about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately or top with your favorite sauce. Butter sage sauce is a perfect pairing.
