Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Pumpkin puree
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 10 leaves Fresh sage leaves
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, nutritional yeast, salt, and ground nutmeg. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the flour to the pumpkin mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it for about 2-3 minutes or until smooth and pliable. Avoid over-kneading to prevent toughness.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick.
Cut the ropes into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces to form individual gnocchi.
Optional: Lightly press each gnocchi piece with the back of a fork to create ridges.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi in batches to avoid overcrowding. Boil until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then let them cook for an additional minute.
Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and place them on a clean towel-lined plate to drain.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and fresh sage leaves, sautéing until fragrant and the sage is crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the garlic and sage oil, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Serve the gnocchi warm, optionally garnished with additional nutritional yeast or fresh herbs.
