Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C/355°F for a fan-assisted oven).
-
While the oven is preheating, cut the pumpkin into small pieces and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the unpeeled potatoes alongside.
-
Roast the vegetables in the oven until tender. If the pumpkin cooks faster than the potatoes, remove it and leave only the potatoes in the oven.
-
Pass the roasted pumpkin through a potato ricer. Then wrap the puree in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess liquid. Transfer the pressed pumpkin to a large mixing bowl.
-
Once the potatoes are cooked, peel them while still hot and pass them through a potato ricer into the bowl with the pumpkin.
-
Add the egg yolk, salt, and nutmeg to taste. Mix well.
-
Knead the dough, gradually adding the flour, until it's uniform and no longer sticky. Be careful not to add too much flour.
-
Shape the gnocchi as desired. For example, you can roll the dough into logs about 1-2 cm (1/3–3/4 inch) thick, cut into pieces of the same length, and shape each piece into a ball.
-
Place the finished gnocchi on a plate or clean kitchen towel, lightly dusted with flour to prevent sticking.
To cook, drop the gnocchi into boiling salted water and remove them with a slotted spoon 1-2 minutes (depending on their size) after they float to the surface.
