Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup Pumpkin puree
1 1/4 cup Gluten-free flour more if needed, with xantham gum
1/4 cup Arrowroot flour
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 cup Nutritional yest
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Turmeric

Sage sauce

3 tbsp Butter unsalted
2 tbsp Sage chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg, salt, nutmeg, nutritional yeast, and turmeric. Gradually add the gluten-free and arrowroot flours until you have a soft dough that's slightly sticky but workable. The dough should be neither too dry nor too sticky, although I like it on the wetter side.
2. Shape the gnocchi: Lightly dust your work surface and your hands with flour, and divide the dough into 3 smaller portions. Roll each into a rope about the width of your thumb. Press lightly with the back of the fork, then cut into small bite-sized pieces 2-3 inches. Transfer them to the cookie sheet lined up with parchment paper dusted with flour and cover it with a kitchen towel.
3. Boil the gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop the gnocchi in batches; when they float to the surface, they're ready (it only takes about 2 minutes).
4. Pan-sear: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add chopped sage. Add the cooked gnocchi and a few fresh sage leaves. Let them crisp slightly and turn golden brown. The texture should be soft and fluffy inside, with a light crisp on the outside, the perfect bite!
