Today’s Recipe: Spiced Pumpkin Brown Butter Gnocchi

Hello, fellow food lovers! Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that perfectly captures the cozy and comforting flavors of fall. This Spiced Pumpkin Brown Butter Gnocchi is a unique twist on a classic Italian dish, combining the earthy sweetness of pumpkin with the nutty richness of brown butter. It’s a dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends at your next dinner gathering.

Ingredients:

• 200g pumpkin puree
• 300g potato gnocchi
• 50g butter
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 30g Parmesan cheese, grated

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• grater
• knife

To start, heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and continue cooking until it turns a deep golden brown color, giving off a nutty aroma. Be sure to keep an eye on it, as it can quickly go from browned to burnt.

Next, add the pumpkin puree to the brown butter, along with the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined, letting the flavors meld together for a few minutes.

In a separate pot of boiling water, cook the potato gnocchi according to the package instructions. Once they float to the surface, indicating they’re cooked, drain them and add them to the pumpkin brown butter sauce. Toss everything together gently to coat the gnocchi in the delicious spiced sauce.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the dish. The cheese will melt slightly, adding a salty richness to complement the sweetness of the pumpkin.

Serve the Spiced Pumpkin Brown Butter Gnocchi hot, garnished with a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg for an extra burst of flavor.

This dish yields approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 200g. One serving of this indulgent Spiced Pumpkin Brown Butter Gnocchi is roughly 350 calories.

Clever Tip:

For an extra decadent touch, try adding a handful of toasted pecans or walnuts to the dish before serving. The crunchy nuts will add a delightful contrast to the creamy gnocchi and pumpkin sauce.
