Ingredients

• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Potato starch
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 8 Fresh sage leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until well mixed.

Step 2

Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour, potato starch, xanthan gum, salt, and ground nutmeg to the pumpkin mixture. Mix until combined.

Step 3

Add the egg yolk and continue mixing until the dough begins to come together. It should be soft but not sticky.

Step 4

Lightly dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour. Transfer the dough onto the surface and gently knead it a few times until smooth.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 6

Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi. For a traditional appearance, use a fork to press lightly onto each piece to create ridges.

Step 7

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches, ensuring they don't stick together. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface.

Step 8

Remove the cooked gnocchi with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 9

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter turns a golden brown and the sage becomes crisp, about 3 minutes.

Step 10

Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss them gently in the brown butter and sage mixture, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the gnocchi warm, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
