Step 1

Prepare the pumpkin by draining some of the liquid out. To do this line a bowl or a strainer with a few layers of paper towels, then place the pumpkin puree on top of the paper towels. Let this sit for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Gently mix together all of the ingredients in a large bowl. A soft but pliable dough will form, if the dough is too wet or sticky, add additional flour as needed 1 tablespoon at a time.

Step 3

Sprinkle a little flour on a clean countertop or cutting board.

Step 4

Taking about 1 1ablespoon of dough at a time, roll the dough between your palms to create a ball shape, set the ball onto your floured surface. Repeat this until all the dough has been rolled.

Step 5

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil, season the water with a pinch of kosher salt.

Step 6

Using the side of a toothpick or a piece of string to create pumpkin markings on each dough ball, then very gently press down the top just a bit to make the ball a little more squat in shape.

Step 7

Once all of the gnocchi are shaped and the water is boiling, carefully slide them into the pot of water.

Step 8

Let the gnocchi boil until they begin to float, once they are floating give them another minute or two then take them out of the water.

Step 9

Place a whole clove into the top of each gnocchi to look like a pumpkin stem.

Step 10

Serve gnocchi with your favorite sauce! (it is recommended to remove the clove before eating.)
