Fall Comfort Food: Pumpkin Sage Gnocchi

Today, I am excited to share with you a cozy, fall-inspired recipe for Pumpkin Sage Gnocchi. The combination of earthy pumpkin and aromatic sage makes for a perfect comforting dish on chilly autumn evenings. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 400g pumpkin puree
  • 200g cooked potato, mashed
  • 300g all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • Handful of fresh sage leaves
  • 50g butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • mixing bowl
  • potato masher
  • fork
  • knife
  • rolling pin
  • skillet

Start by mixing the pumpkin puree, mashed potato, flour, egg, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut it into small pieces to form the gnocchi shape. Use a fork to create ridges on each piece for texture.

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add fresh sage leaves and let them crisp up for a minute or two to infuse the butter with their flavor. Remove the sage leaves and set them aside for garnish.

Boil a pot of salted water and cook the gnocchi in batches. Once they float to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer them to the skillet with the sage-infused butter. Toss the gnocchi in the butter until they are coated evenly.

Serve the Pumpkin Sage Gnocchi on a plate, garnished with the crispy sage leaves and a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper. Enjoy this warm and savory dish that captures the essence of fall!

Clever Tip:

To add an extra layer of flavor to the gnocchi, try toasting the sage leaves in the skillet before adding the butter. This will bring out their aromatic oils and enhance the overall taste of the dish.
