- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade, not pie filling)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, lightly beaten egg, salt, nutmeg, and Parmesan cheese. Stir these together until the mixture is completely smooth and the spices are evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the flour one cup at a time. Mix gently with a fork or your hands until a soft dough begins to form. You want the dough to be slightly sticky but manageable. Avoid overworking the dough, as this can make the gnocchi tough.
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Gently knead it for about one minute until it holds together. Divide the dough into four equal portions to make it easier to handle.
- Take one portion of dough and roll it into a long rope about 1/2-inch thick. Use a sharp knife or a bench scraper to cut the rope into 1-inch pieces. You can leave them as they are or roll them over a gnocchi board or the tines of a fork to create traditional ridges.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop the gnocchi in batches into the water. Once they rise to the surface, let them cook for an additional 30 to 60 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain well.
