Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 15 ounce can Pumpkin puree
  • 1 14.5 ounce can Coconut milk full-fat
  • 1 cup Vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 pound Gnocchi potato or sweet potato
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated, plus extra for serving
  • 1/4 cup Fresh sage chopped, for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large Pot

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, vegetable broth, dried sage, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. While the sauce simmers, cook the gnocchi according to package directions. Usually this involves boiling them in salted water until they float to the surface. Drain the gnocchi well.
  6. Add the cooked gnocchi to the pumpkin sauce and stir gently to coat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh sage, if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use roasted pumpkin puree. You can also add other vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the sauce. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
