Pumpkin Shaped Gnocchi

3.04 from 28 votes
The flavor of Pumpkin Gnocchi is a gentle nod to the cozy essence of fall. The subtle pumpkin infusion adds a touch of sweetness and earthiness to the pasta, perfectly complementing the nutty, savory notes of browned butter, sage, or your chosen sauce. It's a taste that's comforting and reminiscent of seasonal warmth.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 russet potato peeled
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp salted butter

Method
 

  1. Wash and peel the potato. Cut it into equal size cubes and boil for 10 minutes until fork tender.
  2. On a clean surface, add the flour and create a well in the center.
  3. Add the pumpkin and mashed potato to the center (I like to use a potato ricer for this step)
  4. Using your hands, fold together the ingredients until combined. Do not over mix.
  5. Roll the gnocchi dough into a log shape, and cut 1 inch cubes.
  6. Roll the cubes into little balls, and using a chop stick or the dull side of a knife (be careful with this method), press the pumpkin lines into the ball.
  7. Boil the pumpkins for 2 minutes and finish off in a pan with melted butter, crisping up the bottom. Garnish with rosemary sprigs or sage leafs for the pumpkin stems.
