I still had some leftover pumpkin puree in my fridge, so I decided to whip up some pumpkin gnocchi for tonight's dinner. I've never made gnocchi before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but they turned out quite well. Check out the recipe below.
Ingredients:Pumpkin Gnocchi 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (add more as needed)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Sauce1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
fresh sage leaves
freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Combine pumpkin, yolk, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Mix well.
Sprinkle half of the flour on the mixture, gently turn with spatula a few times to incorporate. Dump mixture on clean, lightly floured countertop or you can still do this in the bowl. Sprinkle remaining flour on top of the mixture. Gently knead with your fingertips, just bringing together the mixture until flour is incorporated through. This only should take a minute or two. Any longer and you will be over-kneading.
Dust a clean, dry surface with a generous sprinkling of flour. Divide dough into 4 parts. Take one part and roll into a long, 1″ diameter log. Cut gnocchi into 1″ pieces.
Bring large pot of water to boil, add salt and return to boil. Boil gnocchi until tender, 5 to 6 minutes, then take out and set aside.
Heat pan on medium heat and when hot, add the butter. When hot, add the fresh sage. Let the sage brown and sizzle (but not burn) for a couple of minutes until very fragrant. Remove the sage and discard if you want. To the pan, add the balsamic vinegar and whisk. Let simmer on low for 1 minute, then add the gnocchi and toss till it is heated through and is well coated with the sauce. Garnish with sage leaves.
