Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Gnocchi
  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine canned pumpkin, flour, salt, beaten egg, and nutmeg. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
  2. Roll and Cut the Gnocchi: On a floured surface, roll dough into ropes and cut into 1-inch pieces. Use a fork to create ridges.
  3. Boil the Gnocchi: In a pot of boiling salted water, drop the gnocchi in batches. Cook until they float, about 2-4 minutes.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a skillet, melt butter and add sage. Sauté until fragrant. Toss cooked gnocchi in sage butter for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the gnocchi and optionally sprinkle with Parmesan and garnish with red pepper flakes or nuts.
