Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 2 large eggs
- 10 fresh sage leaves, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients on your counter for easy access.
- In a large bowl, mix pumpkin puree, eggs, salt, and pepper until smooth. Gradually add flour while mixing until a soft dough forms.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough gently until smooth, being careful not to overwork it.
- Divide the dough into sections and roll each into ropes about 1 inch thick. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Press the back of a fork into each piece to create classic indentations for sauce adherence.
- Boil salted water in a large pot; add gnocchi carefully. They are done when they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
