Description

This Irresistible Brown Butter and Sage Pumpkin Gnocchi recipe is the perfect autumn comfort food — fluffy pumpkin gnocchi tossed in nutty browned butter and crispy sage, finished with Parmesan for a cozy, elegant dish everyone will love.


Ingredients

For the gnocchi: 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade) 1 large egg, lightly beaten ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon nutmeg 1 ½ – 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting For the sauce: ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter 12–15 fresh sage leaves Salt and pepper, to taste Extra Parmesan, for serving Optional additions: Crumbled cooked sausage Toasted pine nuts


Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix pumpkin puree, egg, Parmesan, salt, and nutmeg. Gradually add flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. 2. Turn dough onto a floured surface, divide into 4 portions, and roll each into a ½-inch thick rope. Cut into 1-inch pieces and optionally roll on a fork for ridges. 3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in batches until they float (2–3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. 4. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cook until butter is golden brown and sage is crisp. 5. Add gnocchi to skillet and toss gently to coat in butter and sage. Season with salt and pepper. 6. Serve warm with extra Parmesan and optional toasted pine nuts.

Notes

• Don’t overwork the dough or add too much flour — keep it soft. • Watch the butter carefully as it browns to avoid burning. • You can freeze uncooked gnocchi on a tray, then transfer to a bag and boil straight from frozen.
