pumpkin gnocchi 🧡✨🎃 saw these cute pumpkin

pumpkin gnocchi 🧡✨🎃 saw these cute pumpkins last fall and knew I had to try my spin on them in the next season! like my other gnocchi recipe variations (cauliflower, sweet potato, butternut squash), my version is made with cassava flour to be gluten/grain free— and tossed in browned butter + parmesan so what’s not to love 🤤

original creator: @lizfoodfeed 🎃

gnocchi ingredients (makes 30 pieces or 3-4 servings):
-1 can pumpkin 100% purée
-1 + 1/4 cup cassava flour
-pinch of salt
-rosemary sprigs

for cooking:
-1.5 cup water, for cooking
-3 tbsp salted butter, browned
-sprinkle of parmesan

instructions:
-to a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin purée and about 1 cup of flour. using a spoon or clean hands, mix until a dough begins to form. add the additional 1/4 cup cassava flour and knead until a dough ball forms. if your dough is too wet, add a bit more flour until it starts to feel solid.
-cut the dough ball into 4 parts. portion out the dough into 1/2 inch balls (the smaller the better as they will expand as they cook!)
-using a piece of string or a toothpick, make the lines around the pumpkin. place a sprig of rosemary into the top for the stem.
-to a skillet pan with raised sides, add the water for cooking and bring to medium-high heat. place the gnocchi pumpkins in the water leaving some space in between each one. place the lid on top and let simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until the gnocchi pieces are fully cooked through and change to a dark orange color.
-once cooked through, carefully drain the water leaving the gnocchi’s in the pan. drizzle with browned butter and sprinkle with grated parmesan. serve and enjoy!
