Potato Pumpkin Gnocchi with Butter Sage Sauce
This easy recipe combines the richness of pumpkin and potatoes to create tender gnocchi, perfectly paired with a butter sage sauce for a comforting dish.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, mashed potatoes (cooled)
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 10 fresh sage leaves
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix mashed potatoes, pumpkin puree, egg, and salt.
- Gradually add flour, kneading gently until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough into smaller portions and roll each into a ½-inch-thick rope.
- Cut into 1-inch pieces and press lightly with a fork to create ridges.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in batches until they float to the surface (2-3 minutes). Remove and drain.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add sage leaves. Cook until the butter browns and the sage becomes crispy.
- Toss the cooked gnocchi in the butter sage sauce. Serve hot, topped with Parmesan if desired.
