  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup flour
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 2 tsp sage (densely packed)

Instructions

  1. Boil salted water in a large pot; add cubed pumpkin and potato. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Drain and let cool slightly before mashing in a mixing bowl until smooth. Mix in salt and gradually add flour to form a dough.
  3. Lightly flour your work surface, roll dough into ropes about ½ inch thick, and cut into 1-inch pieces, creating ridges with a fork.
  4. Boil gnocchi in another pot of salted water until they float (about 2-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
  5. In a skillet over medium heat, melt vegan butter, add sage leaves until fragrant, then toss in the gnocchi.
