How to make pumpkin gnocchi without potatoes

  1. First of all, cut the pumpkin into large pieces, remove the internal seeds and wrap them in foil.
  2. Bake in the oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes . A lot will depend on the type of pumpkin, if it is not soft and easy to pierce with the prongs of a fork, leave it still in the oven for the necessary time.
  3. Once done, take the pieces of pumpkin and extract the pulp, then mash it reducing it to a sort of puree.
  4. At this point, mix the still hot pulp with the flour, a pinch of salt and an egg, and work the mixture until it is nice and soft and compact.
  5. Form salami with your hands and then cut them giving your dumplings the shape you prefer.
  6. The cooking of the gnocchi is very simple : boiling salted water for a few minutes, the time for them to float to the surface.

storage

If you have some gnocchi left over, you can keep them for 1 day in a container in the refrigerator , with a lid, and heat them in a pan with a drizzle of butter before serving. If you have used all fresh ingredients you can also freeze the gnocchi in the freezer. To do this, place them on a cutting board, place them in the freezer and only then collect them in a freezer bag so that they do not stick together.
