Ingredients

  • 20 dag Pumpkin, raw

  • 0.25 l Milk, skimmed

  • 0.25 l Soup base, chicken, cube

  • 25 dag Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 1 piece Egg, fresh

  • 2 pinch Salt, table

  • 1 bouquet Thyme, raw

  • 20 g Butter, unsalted

  • 8 slice Meat, pork, loaf

Steps

  1. Wash the pumpkin, cut it into pieces, and remove the seeds. Cut the pumpkin flesh into larger pieces, place them in a pot, and cover with enough broth and milk to fully submerge them. Season with salt to taste and cook over moderate heat for about 20 minutes. Remove the cooked pumpkin pieces from the liquid using a slotted spoon, drain well, and let them cool.

  2. Remove the skin from the cooled pumpkin pieces. Then mash them with a fork or pass them through a sieve. Place the pureed pumpkin on a board and make a well in the center. Crack an egg into the well, add a pinch of salt, and gradually add flour while kneading. Knead until you get a soft and elastic dough that doesn’t stick to your hands or the surface.

  3. Place a large pot of water on the stove, lightly salt it, and bring it to a boil. Meanwhile, shape the gnocchi from the prepared dough. On a floured work surface, roll the dough into a long rope about 1.5 cm in diameter. Using the blunt side of a knife, cut it into smaller, 2 cm long gnocchi. Thoroughly wash the parsley and finely chop it.

  4. Drop the gnocchi into the pot of boiling water and cook for about 8 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain the gnocchi well and serve in bowls. Top the cooked gnocchi with a knob of butter, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and garnish with two slices of prosciutto.

Advice

From the same dough, you can make gnocchi, fritters, or savory pastries. We recommend draining the pureed pumpkin through a cloth, as it contains a lot of water and the gnocchi might not turn out well.
