Steps for Pumpkin Gnocchi

• The first thing to do is cook both the pumpkin and the potatoes. Cut the pumpkin into chunks and place the pieces in a bowl with a tablespoon of water, cover with plastic wrap, making small holes with a toothpick to let the steam escape. Cook in the microwave for 4 minutes on high power, then stir the pumpkin, cover again, and continue cooking for another 4 minutes. Do the same with the potatoes. If you don’t have a microwave, steam them.

  

• Pass the pumpkin through a food processor or sieve, do the same with the potatoes. You can also use a fork to mash everything very well.

• Transfer the pumpkin and potato mixture onto the work surface, spreading it out well. Add nutmeg and salt and let it cool.

• Break the egg and mix it, then add the flour little by little, continuing to knead.

• The mixture will be soft, so roll it out with a rolling pin (applying little pressure) forming a circle or, if you can, a rectangle about an inch thick. If necessary, use a dusting of flour to help.

• With a knife, cut strips and form rolls with your hands. Make the pumpkin gnocchi by cutting them with a knife to the size you prefer.

• 

• As you prepare the pumpkin gnocchi, place them on a tray covered with parchment paper or on a slightly floured tray.

  Cook the pumpkin gnocchi a few at a time in salted boiling water. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon as soon as they float to the surface and add them to the sauce you prepared.
