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!
