  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: Serves approximately 4 people 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small sugar pumpkin (about 2 cups mashed)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup pasta sauce (such as brown butter sage or marinara)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Halve the pumpkin and scoop out seeds. Place cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for about 45 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Cool slightly, scoop out flesh into a bowl, and mash until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, combine mashed pumpkin, flour, egg yolk, salt, and nutmeg until just mixed; avoid overworking the dough.
  5. Lightly flour your surface and shape the dough into long ropes about 1 inch thick; cut into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Boil salted water in a large pot; add gnocchi gently. They are ready when they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes).
  7. Serve hot with your preferred sauce.
