Instructions

First, combine all of the ingredients (except the flour) in a large bowl & mix well.
Then add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough becomes too hard to stir.
Place the pumpkin ricotta gnocchi dough on your counter & continue to add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky.
Place a pot of salted water on the stove at medium high heat until it begins to boil, then lower the temperature to medium heat.
Then take a small handful of the dough & roll it into the shape of rope until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
Using a knife cut the pumpkin dough roll into gnocchi pieces that are about 1/4-1/2 inch wide.
Continue to roll & cut your gnocchi until you have a batch large enough to cook.
Place the gnocchi pieces in the water, give it a good stir so they don’t stick together.
Once the gnocchi floats to the top continue to let them cook for another 2-3 minutes then remove them with a slotted spoon.
Place your cooked pumpkin ricotta gnocchi in a bowl with a little bit of olive oil to keep them from sticking while you cut & cook the rest of your gnocchi.
Continue this process of rolling, cutting, & cooking until all of your pumpkin ricotta dough is gnocchi.
To make the Sage Brown Butter Sauce place evenly cut thin slabs of butter in a single layer on a saucepan at medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, continually stir the butter with a wooden spoon in a whisking motion until the butter is just one shade below brown butter.
Remove the butter from the heat, add 2 tablespoons of sage, & return the butter to the heat, continually stirring for 15-30 more seconds until brown but not burnt.
Then stir in the Pumpkin Ricotta Gnocchi & serve warm.
We also added a sprinkle of smoked gouda cheese to the top of our Pumpkin Ricotta Gnocchi with Sage Brown Butter Sauce to add one more texture & flavor to this delicious meal!

Notes

*1. Make sure you are using 100% Pure Pumpkin & not Pumpkin Pie Filling for your gnocchi.
*2. Yes there is actually a measuring spoon for a Smidgen! See affiliate link below.
*3.You might need more depending on the stickiness of the dough. If your pumpkin ricotta gnocchi dough is too wet/sticky you run the risk of it falling apart while it is cooking. Flour is your friend.
