Ingredients for pumpkin gnocchi
4 servings
- 500 grams/17.60 oz of pumpkin pulp
- 150 grams/5.30 oz of wheat double 0 flour
- 2 eggs
- nutmeg
- salt and pepper
For the pumpkin gnocchi sauce
- 2 egg yolks
- 250 grams/8.80 oz of cream
- 150 grams/5.30 oz of grated Parmesan cheese
- 100 grams/3.53 oz of smoked ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh tomatoes
- 1 sprig of marjoram
How to make the perfect pumpkin gnocchi
Remove the peel and mash the pulp then place it in a bowl, where you will add the flour, the beaten eggs, a pinch of salt, fresh ground pepper, and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Knead and make the gnocchi that you’ll put on a well-floured tray.
For the Parmesan eggnog
Beat the egg yolks, add the cream, and then the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Cook it on low heat in a small saucepan, stirring constantly until you get a cream that you will keep warm in a double boiler.
Finally let’s cook the pumpkin gnocchi in salted boiling water, drain and stir-fry them in a pan where you have already put six tablespoons of eggnog. Put the gnocchi in the center of a plate and surrounds it with a drizzle of eggnog.
Top with a sprinkle of smoked ricotta and decorate with diced tomatoes and marjoram leaves.
Suggested wine
If you prefer a cocktail: Moscow Mule.
