Ingredients
  

  • 700 g Delica pumpkin or Kabocha
  • 100 g Plain flour you might need a little extra if the pumpkin is to watery
  • salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (or 160°C fan).
  • Wash the pumpkin and cut it into halves, remove the seeds and cut the pulp into big chunks. Place them on a tray with baking paper with whole garlic and fresh rosemary.
  • Cook the pumpkin in the oven for about 30-40 minutes or until soft making sure they don’t get coloured.
  • Once it's cooked remove it from the oven and peel the skin off. While it is still hot, mash the pumpkin with a potato masher or a fork.
  • You should have now about 500g of cooked pumpkin.
  • With the pumpkin mash on a wooden surface form a fountain and start adding the 100g of flour in two steps. Add the salt.
  • Knead fast the dough and form a ball with a soft yet consistent texture.
  • Let it rest over sprinkled flour for 10 minutes under a dry cloth. Once the time has passed check if you may need to add a little more flour to get a more solid texture, and divide the dough into smaller pieces.
  • Roll it with your palms to form a thick sausage (2 cm diameter) and start cutting around 2 cm in length. Put the pumkin gnocchi on a dry tray with sprinkled flour making sure they do not stick together. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Meanwhile, the gnocchi gets a little extra rest, fill up with water in a deep saucepan and take it to a boil, add the salt and pour slowly the pumpkin gnocchi into it. To be sure they don’t stick while cooking, give it a little stirring and wait for them to bob to the surface.
  • Pick them up with a skimmer, waiting for them to show on the surface, and add them to your favourite sauce.
