Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked pumpkin puree
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 10-12 fresh sage leaves
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, salt, nutmeg, and flour. Mix until well combined to form a soft dough.
2. Divide the dough into small portions and roll them into long ropes on a floured surface.
3. Cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces and press each piece lightly with a fork to create gnocchi shapes.
4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in batches, dropping them into the boiling water and cooking until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
5. While the gnocchi are cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until crispy, about 2 minutes.
6. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi directly into the skillet with the butter and sage leaves.
7. Gently toss the gnocchi in the sage butter sauce until well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the gnocchi and season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Remove from heat and serve the pumpkin gnocchi hot, garnished with additional sage leaves if desired.
