Steps:
- Clean pumpkin, discard seeds and chop.
- Meanwhile preheat oven to 200°C.
- Butter a pan/casserole dish, add pumpkin chunks and let bake for about 50-60 minute (you could also roast them in a pan, for about 15 minute until soft, tastes a bit different, but saves quite some time).

- Knead to a medium to firm dough (add flour if necessary).
- Form small rolls out of Gnocchi dough and cut in about half inch size pieces (use some flour in case the dough tends to stick to your working place's surface. If you like your Gnocchi to soak up the sauce better, make slight indentations with fork rakes -- does look pretty as well).

- Meanwhiles melt the rest of the butter in a pan.
- Add chopped shallots and garlic. Fry until soft and fragrant.
- Add chopped chanterelles (or porcini or any other mushroom you like to use).

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: For the best results, use a firm, ripe pumpkin with a deep orange color. Avoid pumpkins that are soft or have blemishes.
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin before making the gnocchi helps to concentrate its flavor and make it easier to mash.
- Use fresh mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms will give your gnocchi the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms, but be sure to soak them in water before using.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the gnocchi tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
- Cook the gnocchi in batches: Cook the gnocchi in batches to prevent them from sticking together. Add them to a large pot of boiling water and cook until they float to the top.
- Serve the gnocchi immediately: Gnocchi are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can toss them with your favorite sauce, or simply drizzle them with olive oil and Parmesan cheese.
