Gnocchi is a traditional Italian dish that is known for its small, pillowy potato dumplings, slathered in a variety of sauces and toppings. But, have you ever tried making gnocchi with , leek, and sage? If not, you’re missing out on a flavorful and aromatic dish that is both comforting and satisfying.

Gnocchi is not an easy dish to master, to begin with; it requires a delicate balance of ingredients, including potatoes, flour, eggs, and salt, which is then rolled into small balls and boiled. However, with this recipe, we will be using pumpkin puree as a substitution for potatoes, which adds a lovely sweetness and creaminess to the dish.

Ingredients:

– 1 cup of pumpkin puree
– 1 cup of leeks, chopped
– 2 cups of flour
– 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped sage leaves
– 1 egg
– Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. In a 2-quart bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, leeks, sage leaves, Parmesan cheese, and egg.

2. Add the flour, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the pumpkin mixture, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon to form a dough. The dough should be soft and pliable but not too sticky.

3. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll them into long, thin ropes. Cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces, about 1/2 inch wide. Press lightly with a fork to make ridges for the sauce to stick to.

4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Once the water starts boiling, drop the gnocchi into the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they start to rise to the top of the water.

5. Gently remove the gnocchi from the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer them onto a plate.

6. In a saucepan, melt some butter and add some finely chopped sage and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top. Toss the gnocchi in the sauce and enjoy!

The flavor combination of the pumpkin, sage, and Parmesan work well together, balancing out the sweetness of the pumpkin and the salty creaminess of the Parmesan. The leeks add a subtle sweetness and a nice crunch to the dish. The gnocchi are light, airy, and just perfect for soaking up all the flavors of the sauce.

In conclusion, this pumpkin, leek, and sage gnocchi is a perfect fall dish that brings a sense of comfort and warmth to your kitchen. It’s a great way to add a little bit of seasonal flair to your meal planning, and will be sure to impress your family and friends. So, the next time you’re looking for something warm and cozy to make, give this recipe a go!
