Steps:
- For the Gnocchi: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Pierce the sweet potato with a fork. Bake the sweet potatoes until tender and fully cooked, between 40 to 55 minutes depending on size. Cool slightly. Cut in half and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Mash the sweet potatoes and transfer to a large measuring cup to make sure the sweet potatoes measure about 2 cups. Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes back to the large bowl. Add the ricotta cheese, salt, cinnamon, and pepper and blend until well mixed. Add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time until a soft dough forms. Lightly flour a work surface and place the dough in a ball on the work surface. Divide the dough into 6 equal balls. Roll out each ball into a 1-inch wide rope. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces. Roll the gnocchi over the tines of a fork. Transfer the formed gnocchi to a large baking sheet. Continue with the remaining gnocchi.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the gnocchi in 3 batches and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the gnocchi using a slotted spoon onto a baking sheet. Tent with foil to keep warm and continue with the remaining gnocchi.
- For the Brown Butter sauce: While the gnocchi are cooking melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. When the butter has melted add the sage leaves. Continue to cook, swirling the butter occasionally, until the foam subsides and the milk solids begin to brown. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the cinnamon, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Careful, the mixture will bubble up. Gently stir the mixture. When the bubbles subside, toss the cooked gnocchi in the brown butter. Transfer the gnocchi to a serving dish and serve immediately.
SWEET POTATO GNOCCHI WITH BROWN BUTTER, CRISPY PANCETTA AND SAGE
This recipe puts a little twist on the classic potato gnocchi using sweet potato instead. I love its natural sweetness and beautiful color. I then coat the pillowy pieces with a rich, nutty and salty brown butter. (I felt that tomato sauce might be a bit too acidic and mask the sweetness.) To top it all off: crispy nuggets of pancetta and fried sage leaves.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Poke holes all over each sweet potato with a fork, then rub all over with oil. Place on a baking sheet and roast until tender when pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove and discard the skins. Quarter each sweet potato and pass a few pieces at a time through a ricer, landing the fluffy strands in a medium bowl; discard any stringy bits. Cover with plastic wrap until ready to mix. (Alternative method: Remove the skins after baking then grate the sweet potatoes on the large holes of a box grater.)
- Bring a large wide pot of water to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, whisk to combine the flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Create a well in the center. Add the riced sweet potatoes and egg. Gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be sure not to overwork the dough!
- Transfer the dough to a generously floured work surface. Bring the dough together with your hands, adding up to 1/4 cup flour, until the dough is just slightly sticky and can be patted into a disk. Let rest on the work surface, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
- Cut the dough into 4 equal wedges. Working with one wedge at a time, roll the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick log on a lightly floured surface. Cut each log into about thirty pieces. (The gnocchi will be slightly sticky in the center.) Transfer to a baking sheet and cover with a dish towel.
- Cook the pancetta, stirring occasionally, in a medium skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Remove the skillet from the heat and reserve the skillet with the fat in it.
- Generously season the boiling water with salt. Reduce the heat to medium and carefully drop a batch of gnocchi into the water and cook until they begin to float; remove to a serving platter with a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining gnocchi.
- Heat the reserved skillet and fat over medium heat. Add the butter and cook, stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula, until brown flecks appear, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the sage and gently fry in the brown butter until just crispy, about 1 minute.
- Pour the melted butter on the cooked gnocchi. Top with the sage leaves and crispy pancetta pieces. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan, if desired. Enjoy while warm.

These dumplings have a light texture, thanks to the addition of fresh ricotta cheese. Drain the ricotta in a sieve for two hours before starting the recipe.

Steps:
- Gnocchi: In a pot, cover potatoes with 2 inches of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and let sit until cool enough to handle. Peel and quarter potatoes and let cool completely.
- Using a ricer or colander, press potatoes into a large bowl. Add flour, egg, and salt to bowl and gently stir until a ragged dough forms, being careful not to overwork. Transfer dough to a floured work surface and gently knead until dough just becomes uniform in color (sprinkling surface and hands with more flour as needed to prevent sticking).
- Divide dough into 6 pieces; roll one out to an approximately 3/4-inch-diameter rope. Using a bench scraper or knife, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick "pillows." Transfer in a single layer to a rimmed baking sheet generously dusted with flour. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Sauce: Heat a large skillet over medium. Add pepitas and sesame and poppy seeds; cook, shaking frequently, until pepitas puff slightly and begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and season with salt and pepper.
- Melt butter in skillet over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until dark golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add sage leaves to brown butter and cook until darkened slightly, about 45 seconds. Remove skillet from heat. Using a fork, transfer sage to plate with seeds.
- Meanwhile, cook gnocchi in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until they float and are al dente, 3 to 4 minutes; drain. Add to skillet with brown butter and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until gnocchi begin to crisp at edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve topped with seeds and sage.
Tips:
- For the best results, use russet potatoes. They have a high starch content, which will help the gnocchi hold together.
- Make sure the potatoes are cooked through before mashing them. Otherwise, the gnocchi will be gummy.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the gnocchi tough.
- If the dough is too sticky, add more flour. If it's too dry, add more potato.
- Be careful not to crowd the gnocchi when cooking them. Otherwise, they will stick together.
- Cook the gnocchi until they float to the top of the water. This means they are cooked through.
- Serve the gnocchi immediately with your favorite sauce.
Conclusion:
This sweet potato gnocchi recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this healthy vegetable. The gnocchi are light and fluffy, with a slightly sweet flavor. They are perfect for pairing with a variety of sauces, from simple butter and sage to rich and creamy pesto. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook sweet potatoes, give this gnocchi recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
