Ingredients
  

  • 1 large russet potato
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 fresh sage leaves
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Bake the potato in a 400°F oven until it can easily be pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Peel the skin off the potato, mash it, and allow it to cool.
  • In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups of the mashed potato with the pumpkin purée, egg, salt, dried thyme, nutmeg, and black pepper. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms, adding more flour to make it less sticky if needed.

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Drain.
  • In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cook until crispy. Add cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat with the sage butter.
