Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ⅔ cups pumpkin (cubed)
- ⅔ cup starchy potato (cubed)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup flour
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 2 tsp sage (densely packed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Steam or boil cubed pumpkin and potato until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain excess water.
- Mash the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked pumpkin and potato until smooth. Stir in salt, then gradually add flour to form a soft dough.
- Shape the Gnocchi: On a floured surface, roll out portions of dough into long ropes about ½ inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces, using a fork to create ridges.
- Cook the Gnocchi: Boil salted water in a large pot. Add gnocchi in batches; they are done when they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, melt vegan butter and sauté sage for one minute until fragrant.
- Combine and Serve: Toss cooked gnocchi in the skillet with sage butter to coat evenly.
