Ingredients
  

For the Gnocchi:

  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Sage Butter Sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup sage leaves chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Combine pumpkin puree, flour, egg, salt, nutmeg, and pepper in a bowl to form dough.
  • Roll dough into logs and cut into small pieces. Shape gnocchi with a fork.
  • Bring salted water to a boil. Drop gnocchi in and cook until they float (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cook until crispy.
  • Toss cooked gnocchi in sage butter sauce, adding Parmesan and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Serve immediately, because waiting for this goodness is a crime.
