Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams pumpkin puree
- 150 grams almond flour
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 leaves fresh sage leaves
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients form a dough-like consistency.
Transfer the dough onto a surface lightly dusted with almond flour. Divide the dough into four equal portions.
Roll each portion into a long rope, approximately 1/2 inch in diameter.
Using a sharp knife, cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float to the top, about 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and butter together.
Once the butter is melted and foamy, add the sage leaves and let them sizzle for about 1 minute.
Add the well-drained gnocchi to the skillet, cooking until they start to turn golden and slightly crisp on the outside, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve the gnocchi warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
