Pumpkin Gnocchi

Method

1. Cut the pumpkin into slices no thicker than 0.5 cm.
2. Place the pumpkin pieces on a baking tray and bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 30 minutes.
3. After cooking, blend the pumpkin into a smooth puree using a food processor or blender.
4. Cook the potatoes until soft, then peel and mash them with a potato masher.
5. Place the mashed potatoes on a work surface, let cool slightly. Add the pumpkin puree, grated Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and egg yolk. Add the flour and knead until a compact dough forms. Add more flour if needed, but do not overdo it.
6. Once the dough is well combined, shape the gnocchi: roll out the dough into ropes, cut into pieces about 0.5 cm long. Dust generously with semolina to prevent sticking.
7. Cook the gnocchi in boiling salted water. When they float to the surface, they are ready. Drain and serve with your favorite sauce, such as melted butter and Parmesan.
