  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage (or fresh, if available)

Instructions

Cook the Gnocchi

  1. Boil Water: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  3. Season the Sauce: Add the grated Parmesan cheese, dried sage, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Combine Gnocchi and Sauce

  1. Add Gnocchi: Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the creamy pumpkin sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  2. Heat Through: Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
