Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin purée (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix pumpkin purée, ricotta, egg, salt, and nutmeg until smooth. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the Gnocchi: Dust a surface with flour, divide the dough into portions, roll into ropes about half an inch thick, and cut into one-inch pieces. Use a fork to create ridges on each piece.
- Boil: Bring salted water to a gentle boil. Drop in gnocchi in batches; they are done when they float (about 2 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
- Sauté or Serve: Toss cooked gnocchi in melted butter for added flavor or serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
