Spiced Bourbon Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage Brown Butter

Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 8 fresh sage leaves
• Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, egg, bourbon, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until smooth.
2. Gradually add flour, stirring until a soft dough forms. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.
3. Divide dough into 4 portions and roll each into a rope about 3/4 inch thick. Cut ropes into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.
4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in batches, removing them with a slotted spoon as they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cook until butter is browned and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Add cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat in sage brown butter.
7. Serve gnocchi warm, sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
