Provided by jovinelly

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

pasta
1 1/2 cups cooled cooked smoothly pumpkin puree
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
15 ounces diced tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, halved
1/2 cup pitted olive, chopped
1 small celery rib
1 small onion, diced
3 basil leaves, roughly torn
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon oregano

Steps:

  • The twist is that the traditional recipe calls for mashed potato. So you can substitute that if you're looking for something more traditional.
  • I don't have any pictures for this part, but it's easy.
  • 1) combine all ingredients and stir until combined.
  • 2) turn the dough onto a lightly floured cutting board or counter top.
  • 3) knead until smooth (roughly 3 minutes).
  • 4) Separate the dough into 1 inch tubes, thusly, and cut into half-inch pillow shapes.
  • 1) Pinch the pillow shapes so that the ends touch.
  • 2) Using the back of a fork, press and roll the gnocchi towards you. The aim is to create grooves that go all the way around the gnocchi. These catch sauce and make the pasta cook faster.
  • 3) Transfer the finished gnocchi to a lightly floured plate where they can hang out and get to know one another. Don't let them get too friendly or they'll stick together when you try to cook them.
  • These gnocchi were made with a tomato based sauce. You could also make a curry/coconut milk sauce or a white sauce (which would show off their funky colour).
  • I made a tomato sauce with leftover deli olives.
  • When your sauce is almost done, boil a large pot of salted water.
  • When it's boiling, dump the gnocchi gently into the pot, being careful not to burn yourself, and being careful that they don't stick together.
  • Continue to boil the gnocchi for 2-4 minutes.
  • The gnocchi are done when they all float up to the top (if you're unsure, you can taste one. It should be chewy, but cooked through).
  • Drain the gnocchi in a colander.
  • Return the gnocchi to the pot and add the finished sauce a spoonful at a time until all the pasta is nicely coated. When your sauce is almost done, boil a large pot of salted water.
  • When it's boiling, dump the gnocchi gently into the pot, being careful not to burn yourself, and being careful that they don't stick together.

Tips for Making Pumpkin Gnocchi with Tomato-Olive Sauce

  • Use fresh pumpkin: Fresh pumpkin has a more vibrant flavor than canned pumpkin and will yield a more tender gnocchi.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree.
  • Use a ricer to make the gnocchi: A ricer is the best tool for creating light and fluffy gnocchi.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the gnocchi tough.
  • Cook the gnocchi in batches: Cook the gnocchi in batches to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a large pot of salted water: Using a large pot of salted water will help to prevent the gnocchi from sticking together.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: Don't overcrowd the pot with gnocchi, or they will stick together.
  • Cook the gnocchi until they float: The gnocchi are done cooking when they float to the top of the water.
  • Serve the gnocchi with your favorite sauce: Pumpkin gnocchi can be served with a variety of sauces, such as tomato-olive sauce, pesto, or Alfredo sauce.
