PUMPKIN GNOCCHI WITH FRIED SAGE AND CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Bake pumpkin and boil potato: Pre-heat oven to 350 fahrenheit (180 celcius) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Peel and scrape out the seeds of a sugar pumpkin or butternut squash and cut into thin slices and place on the baking sheets.. Bake for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, peel a potato and boil it. About 20-30 minutes.
• Mash pumpkin and potato: When the pumpkin is still warm, crush the pumpkin with a potato ricer or in a food processor, along with the boiled potato. (Pumpkin can be too rich in water and the starch in the potato helps it thicken). On a clean work surface, add the flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg and create fountain with a well in the middle to add the pumpkin and potato mash. Give it a quick mix and make another well.
• Mix the dough: Whip the egg quickly together and pour into the well. Mix together just until homogeneous.
• Shape the dough: Work the dough as little as possible and quickly so the starch doesn't have time to make everything sticky. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a cylinder about 1 inch in diameter, and cut them 1/2 inch thick.
• Shape the gnocchi: You can either leave them as is, shape on a gnocchi board or using the prongs on a fork to give them the classic gnocchi shape. However, this is a sticky dough so it may be difficult to shape them. Place them on a floured cloth on top of a baking sheet, making sure they don't touch each other.
• You can now freeze them or cover them with a towel while you prepare the sauce.
• Brown butter: Cut butter into smaller, equal pieces and add to a saucepan (easier to see the browning if you choose a light colored one). Melt and let it simmer for about 7-10 minutes or until it has browned and smells nutty.
• Cook mushroom: In the butter, add chopped chanterelles and shallot onion and cook until mushrooms are soft and has absorbed some of the butter, about 5-7 minutes. Work in batches, especially if you use fresh chanterelles.
• Simmer 15 minutes: Remove the chanterelles from the pan and if needed, deglaze the pan with a little white wine. Once done, add the rest of the white wine, along with the heavy cream, vegetable stock, Worcestershire sauce, thyme. Let it simmer for 15 minutes or until thickened. Stir in shredded parmesan cheese at the end. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Add mushroom mix back in.
• Brown butter: Brown butter in a cast iron skillet on medium high heat, about 7 minutes, until it smells nutty.
• The sage: Add the whole sage leaves and fry for 30 seconds or until crispy. Take them out and leave them to dry on a paper towel.
• Boil gnocchi: Meanwhile, boil gnocchi in salted water (they can be boiled directly from the freezer). Take them out with a slotted spoon once they have risen to the top. Work in batches so you don't overcrowd the pot and skillet.
• Fry gnocchi: Add the boiled gnocchi to the cast iron skillet and fry for a couple of minutes total.
• Serve: Add to serving bowls, ladle the sauce over and top with the crispy sage leaves.

PUMPKIN GNOCCHI AND SAGE BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• 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.
