Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed in the pumpkin puree.
-
Gradually add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and mix until a dough starts to form. The dough should be slightly sticky but workable. You may not need to use all the flour, depending on the consistency of the pumpkin puree.
-
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently for about 2-3 minutes until the dough is smooth. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as gnocchi should be tender.
-
Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a long rope, about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch long. You can leave them plain or use a fork to create ridges on each piece for traditional gnocchi shapes.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water in batches, making sure they have enough space to cook without sticking together. Cook the gnocchi for about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface.
-
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked gnocchi from the water and transfer them to a plate. Continue cooking the remaining gnocchi in batches.
-
Serve the pumpkin gnocchi warm with your favorite sauce or toppings. They pair well with a simple sage-infused olive oil, marinara sauce, or a creamy vegan alfredo sauce. Garnish with a sprinkle of vegan parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired.
