Details

  • Preparation Time: 20 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 35 minutes
  • Difficulty: 2
  • Spiciness: 0
  • Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 500 g Flour, Wheat, bread flour

  • 2 piece Pumpkin, raw

  • 1 piece Egg, egg yolk, fresh

  • 1 handful Spices, ginger, ground

  • pieces Salt, table

  • 2 spoons Butter, unsalted

Steps

  1. Wash the pumpkin, cut it in half, and remove the seeds. Cut it into pieces and place them on a baking tray. Season with salt, pepper, and drizzle with oil. Bake the pumpkin for about 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 200 degrees Celsius.

  2. Let the baked pumpkin cool slightly, then scrape the soft flesh from the skins (using a spoon) and blend it smoothly with a hand mixer. For the gnocchi, we need 300 g of pumpkin puree.

  3. Add an egg yolk, a tablespoon of chopped sage leaves, salt, pepper, and butter to the pumpkin puree. Mix well and gradually add flour.

  4. Once the dough no longer sticks to your hands, shape it into rolls and cut them into approximately 2 cm pieces. Cook the gnocchi in salted water for 3 minutes or until they float to the surface.

  5. Meanwhile, melt a tablespoon of butter in a pan. Add the sage leaves and sauté them slightly until they become crispy.

  6. Add the cooked gnocchi to the pan along with a few tablespoons of the water they were cooked in. Toss or stir well to create a creamy emulsion from the butter and liquid, coating each gnocchi. Serve the prepared gnocchi as a main dish, a warm appetizer, or as a side to other dishes.
