What you will need

For the Gnocchi

  • 400 g Hokkaido Pumpkin
  • 380 g Flour
  • 1 TSP Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp muskat
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • some more flour for forming

For the Preparing/ Garnish:

  • 70 g Butter
  • 1 handful Sage
  • Burratta
  • some pine nuts

How to

Thats how it works:

  1. Bring a large pot with water to a boil. Peel the pumpkin and cut it into about 3-4cm wide and 2cm thick pieces. Lay them into a steamer and add the steamer on top of the water. Let the pumpkin steam for 25 miuntes.

  2. After 25 miuntes the pumpkin should be soft. You can test this by piecing through it with a fork. If it goes through easily it is done. If you do not have a steamer, you can also boil or bake the pumpkin. Smash the pumpkin down with a fork. there will be some water at the bottom now and we want to get rid of that in order to mak our gnocchi moist and not smushy.

  3. Take a kitchen towel or a cheese cloth and add the smashed pumpkin into it. Gently sqish it so some more water will come out. Once all the excess water is out, return the pumpkin into a bowl. Add the flour little by little, mixing through continuosly until a dough is formed. If you feeel like you have a good dough without adding all of the flour, leave some out, and if you feel like you do need more, add some more.

  4. Once the dough is formed take a smaller piece of that and roll it out into a saussage form. Cut off 3cm large pieces of that and form them into gnocchi in your hands. Here you might need some more flour on your working place in order to not make the Gnocchi stick. Once you have formed them place them on a plate and store in the fridge while making the other ones.

  5. When all of them are done, melt the butter in a large pan and add the sage. Let the butter brown for about 1-2 miuntes. Then add the Gnocchi in and let them fry for about 2 miuntes on each side.

  6. Add them onto the plates and top with some more butter. Cut uo the burratta and add it on top as well. To finish it off sprinkle some pine nuts and serve!

    Enjoy!
