Servings 4
Ingredients
Gnocchi:
- 1 c. canned pumpkin puree not pie filling
- 1 egg
- 2/3 c. Parmesan cheese
- dash nutmeg
- salt & pepper to taste
- 3/4 c. oat or whole-wheat flour + more for rolling
Sauce:
- 4 oz. goat cheese softened to room temperature
- 1/3 c. evaporated milk
- 1 tsp. dried parsley
- 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Gnocchi:
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, egg, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- Fold in the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, and stir until just combined. It will form a soft dough.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and roll into several 1-inch wide logs.
- Cut into pieces approximately 3/4-inch wide. Optional: Press each piece lightly with the tines of a fork to achieve small grooves. That's really just for aesthetics though! :)
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add gnocchi to water and boil for 3 minutes.
- Remove gnocchi with a slotted spoon.
Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients.
- Transfer sauce to a small saucepan set on low heat.
- Warm sauce for 3-4 minutes, whisking til it's smooth.
- Spoon the sauce over the gnocchi and serve!
