Recipe - Herbed Pumkin Gnocchi

1 kg Pumpkin
Up to 1 cup flour
1 Egg and 1 egg yolk
Three fourths teaspoon Nutmeg
Three fourths cup Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoon Finely chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper

Peel, seed and dice the pumpkin into large chunks.

Boil them in salted water until soft.

Drain then place the drained pumpkin in a baking dish and bake for 15
minutes at 200c. to dry out any excess moisture.

Alternatively, toss the cubes of pumpkin with a little olive oil and bake
at 220øc. for 45 minutes, remove from the oven and proceed as described
below.

Puree or mash the pumpkin, add the nutmeg, parsley, One half cup parmesan, egg,
egg yolk and salt and pepper to taste, then add as much flour as necessary
to form a soft, manageable dough.

Knead briefly and roll out to long sausages about the width of a finger.

Cut into diagonal segments and place on a floured board or towel.

Bring a large pot of water to the boil and add salt.

When boiling, add the gnocchi and boil for about 1 minute, until firm and
cooked. (They float when cooked).

Drain and dress with Pesto, remaining parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, if
desired or choose your own favourite pasta sauce.
