Ingredients

Scale

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
10 fresh sage leaves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and salt until well combined. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
Dust a clean surface with flour and gently knead the dough for about two minutes. Divide into smaller sections and roll each into ropes about half an inch thick.
Cut ropes into one-inch pieces and press each piece with a fork to create ridges.
Boil salted water in a large pot. Drop gnocchi into boiling water; cook until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat until bubbly, then add sage leaves and sauté until crispy (about one minute).
Toss cooked gnocchi in the sage butter until well coated. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
