Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage

Sezamo
Preparation method
Preparing the Pumpkin
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Wash the pumpkin, cut it in half, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut the pumpkin into slices about 2 cm thick and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the pumpkin with a little olive oil and bake for 15-20 minutes until soft. Let it cool completely.
Weigh 350 g of roasted pumpkin for the recipe. The rest can be stored in the refrigerator for other dishes for a few days.
Preparing the Dough and Shaping the Gnocchi
Mash the roasted pumpkin into a puree using a blender. Add the egg, spelt flour, grated Parmesan, and salt. Knead until you get a compact dough. Sprinkle flour on the work surface. Divide the dough into several parts and roll each part into a thin cylinder, then cut it into small pieces. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour. Use the back of a fork to create the classic gnocchi pattern on each piece.
Chef's tip
For a finer texture, make sure the pumpkin puree is well drained of excess liquid before adding the flour.
You can replace Parmesan with Grana Padano for a similar but milder taste.
