Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium potimarron (about 2 cups mashed)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 fresh sage leaves
- 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve the potimarron, scoop out seeds, drizzle with olive oil, and roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.
- In a large bowl, mash the warm roasted potimarron until smooth. Gradually mix in flour and egg until a slightly sticky dough forms.
- On a floured surface, divide dough into portions. Roll into ropes and cut into bite-sized pieces. Poke each piece with a fork for traditional grooves.
- Boil salted water in a pot; drop in gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Remove gently with a slotted spoon.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add sage leaves until crispy and golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Toss in cooked gnocchi along with Parmesan and nutmeg; stir until well-coated.
