Pumpkin/Squash Gnocchi image

This recipe comes from a wonderful pumpkin/squash cook book that my sis found at a local book store. It is rather easy to make and the end results taste very nice. This recipe is great for company for it looks quite impressive and everybody will think you spent the whole day in the kitchen. ;)

Categories     Vegetable

Time 49m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

500 g pumpkin (I used hokkaido squash) or 500 g squash (I used hokkaido squash)
1 egg
1 tablespoon oil
400 -500 g flour (depending on how wet your pumpkin puree is)
salt, pepper
sage or rosemary

Steps:

  • Wash, peel (if necessary) and chop the pumpkin/squash. Cook covered in water for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain well.
  • Place pumpkin/squash in a bowl and mash. Add egg, oil and herbs. Mix well. Little by little sift in the flour and fold in carefully. Using your hands work into a smooth, but not sticky dough (this might require extra flour).
  • Turn out onto a floured surface and form into rolls of about 1 cm thickness. Cut into pieces and flatten with a fork to create a decorative pattern.
  • Cook gnocchi in a big pot (it shouldnt be crowed or theyll stick together) in boiling salt water for about 3-4 minutes and serve with a sauce of your choice (I used a herby cheese sauce, but tomato or pesto would ge great as well.).
  • If you dont want to use a very large pot, you can also cook the gnocchi in portions, keeping the already cooked ones warm in the oven.

Be careful not to overcook the gnocchi. They should be cooked through, but still have a slight bite to them.

I would recommend using a food processor to make the gnocchi dough. It makes the process much easier.

The sauce was a little too thin for my taste. I would probably thicken it up with some cornstarch next time.

These gnocchi were a little bland. I think I would add more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my gnocchi turned out really dense. I think I might have added too much flour.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin and squash. I had some leftover from Halloween, and this was a great way to use it up.

I loved the texture of these gnocchi. They were soft and chewy, and they held their shape well in the sauce.
