Description

A creamy, pillowy pumpkin gnocchi recipe combining pumpkin puree, coconut cream, and white miso paste for a sophisticated, comforting autumn dish ready in 35 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut cream
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 16 oz gnocchi, store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 small red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and cook 5-8 minutes until translucent.
  3. Stir in garlic and red bell pepper; cook 3-4 minutes.
  4. Blend sautéed vegetables with pumpkin puree, coconut cream, miso paste, and maple syrup until smooth.
  5. Boil gnocchi in salted water for 2-3 minutes or until they float; reserve 1 cup cooking water.
  6. Return sauce to skillet, add gnocchi, and stir in reserved water as needed.
  7. Remove from heat; stir in sage and balsamic vinegar before serving.

Notes

Avoid overcooking gnocchi; they should float to indicate doneness. For a lower-calorie version, replace coconut cream with almond milk. This recipe can be made gluten-free by using certified gluten-free gnocchi.
