Method
 

How to Make Easy Pumpkin Gnocchi
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well blended. Gradually stir in 1¼ cups of flour to form a soft dough.
  2. On a floured surface, divide the dough into 6-8 portions. Roll each portion into a rope about ¾-inch thick and cut into ¾-inch pieces.
  3. Using a fork or gnocchi board, gently press each piece to form ridges.
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi in batches. They are ready when they float to the surface, typically in about 2-3 minutes.
