Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pumpkin Gnocchi
  1. Combine canned pumpkin, egg, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix until smooth. Gradually add all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms.
  2. Flour a clean surface, divide the dough, and roll each portion into a long strip about ½ inch thick. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float, about 2-4 minutes.
  4. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sage leaves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
