Vegan Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage
Discover the perfect fall comfort food with our Vegan Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage recipe. Easy, delicious, and plant-based.
Equipment
- 1 Large pot
- 1 Mixing Bowl medium
- 1 Baking Sheet
Ingredients
Gnocchi
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- 1 tsp salt
Sage Butter Sauce
- 1/4 cup vegan butter
- 10 fresh sage leaves
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- If using fresh pumpkin, roast it at 400°F until tender. Blend until smooth. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, flour, and salt to form a soft dough. Knead gently on a floured surface.
- Divide dough into four portions. Roll each portion into a long rope and cut into 1-inch pieces. Gently press each piece with a fork to create ridges.
- Let the gnocchi pieces rest on a floured baking sheet for 15 minutes before cooking.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi in batches, cooking until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
- In a saucepan, melt vegan butter over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cook until the butter is infused and the sage is crispy. Season with black pepper.
Serving
- Toss cooked gnocchi with the sage butter sauce. Serve warm, garnished with additional sage leaves if desired.
Storage
- Store leftover gnocchi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
