Pumpkin gnocchi
First dishes
Cooking without waste
Ingredients
serves 4
half a kilo of steamed (or baked) yellow pumpkin, 250 g of wheat flour, one whole egg, 30 g of Parmesan cheese, milk (optional), salt, nutmeg.
Preparation
Work the pumpkin, reduced to a puree, with the flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and nutmeg, softening the dough, if necessary, with a little milk. Work with your hands until you obtain a soft but dry and compact mixture – if needed, add more flour – and let it rest for at least one hour.
Put a pot of water on the stove, bring to a boil, add salt, and pour in spoonfuls of dough. As soon as the gnocchi float to the surface, drain them with a slotted spoon and dress them with butter and sage (an alternative can be tomato sauce).
40 minutes, plus resting time
