Pumpkin Gnocchi

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and the egg. Mix until well combined.

2. 2

   Gradually add the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

3. 3

   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently until smooth, adding more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.

4. 4

   Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope, about 1/2 inch in diameter.

5. 5

   Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi. Optionally, press each piece with a fork to create ridges.

6. 6

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving dish. Serve with your favorite sauce or melted butter and sage.
