ingredients

3 cups pureed pumpkin
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 cups flour
¹⁄₄ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3 grinds pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled
10 fresh sage leaves
parmesan cheese, for serving

directions

If you're starting with a real pumpkin, as opposed to canned, cut it into quarters, scrape out the seeds and bake it until soft.
Cool. Scoop out the pumpkin and mash well.
In a bowl, mix the pumpkin and egg. Stir in the flour, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Knead briefly on the counter to incorporate the flour and make a smooth sticky dough. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for an hour.
Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Using a teaspoon, scoop up a ball of dough, roll it off the spoon with your fingers and drop into the boiling water.
If the dough is sticky, dip the teaspoon in cold water between each scoop.
When the gnocchi float to the surface, scoop them out with a slotted spoon into a serving bowl. There will be too much dough to cook all at once, so do the gnocchi in batches.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat the butter with oil and garlic. Chop the sage into slivers and add to the butter. When the first batch of gnocchi is in the bowl, remove the garlic and pour the butter over the gnocchi, stirring lightly to coat.
Keep each batch warm in a low oven. Serve warm, sprinkled with pepper and Parmesan cheese.

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
