Preparation
Kitchen utensils
1 Cutting board, 1 Small knife, 1 deep bowl, 1 Large knife, 1 Immersion blender, 1 gegebenenfalls Can opener, 1 Sieve, 1 Small bowl, 1 Tablespoon
Preparation steps
1.
Steam the potatoes and the pumpkin for 10-15 minutes until soft. Then put them through a potato ricer and allow to cool.
2.
Add the egg yolks, cornflour, semolina, salt and ground black pepper and knead into a smooth dough. The dough should be easily malleable but no longer sticky. If it is too soft add some more semolina.
3.
Break the dough into 4 parts and roll them into long strands approx. 3 cm in diameter. Cut 2 cm long pieces from these strands and roll them over the prongs of a fork to achieve the typical gnocchi pattern.
4.
Cook the gnocchi in simmering salt water for approx. 6 minutes until they float to the surface.
5.
Melt the butter in a pan and add a pinch of nutmeg. Add the sage leaves and the gnocchi. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and amaretti.
