if you like pumpkin this the dish for you. it is a easy dish to make and quite satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pumpkin shopping list
- Salt shopping list
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour shopping list
- 1/4 cup +2 tablespoons of butter shopping list
- 1/4 cup +2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese shopping list
How to make it
- Remove the rind and the green part before cutting pumpkin in large pieces and cooking it in lightly salted water. When cooked strain and transfer to a board. Add the flour a little at a time and a pinch of salt adding more flour if the dough is to soft. Everything depends on the flourishess of the pumpkin itself.Knead all the ingredients well to obtain a fairly soft and elastic dough. Form the dough into finger-thick rolls, then cut into three-quarter inch pieces. Form the gnocchi into their characteristic hollowed shape against the back of a fork.(I like to use a grater to form them. Boil the gnocchi in plenty of salted water a few at a time so that they do not stick together. Remove with a slotted spoon as they float to the surface. Transfer to individual plates cover with plenty of melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan, Serve piping hot.
- FOOTNOTES:
- These make a tasty main or side dish. If served as a main dish I have a green salad alongside. For myself when I make these I use lactose-free margarine and lactose-free Parmesan cheese as I am lactose intolerant. How many it makes depends on how big you make the gnocchi. I put serves three but could be for 2 or 4. Do not use a food processor to mash the pumpkin because you will have a glob of glue like substance. These freeze very well. Put them uncooked on a cookie sheet so they don't stick together, when frozen put in freezer bags.

The whole family LOVED it!! It was so quick and easy to prepare! I used canned pumpkin puree, 2 cups worth and it worked out beautifully.

This recipe is awesome! It works with gluten free, all-purpose flour too (a mix of medium-grind rice flour and potato flour-works like a charm). I used roasted pumpkin (slow cooker or oven) instead of boiling to avoid too much water. These work with ...more
