Lakota Pumpkin Gnocchi

Lakota Pumpkin Gnocchi is a delightful twist on traditional pasta, incorporating the rich flavors of pumpkin and wholesome ingredients. This Paleo-friendly dish is both hearty and nourishing, perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

• Pumpkin puree - 1 cup
• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Arrowroot powder - 1/4 cup
• Egg - 1 large
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh sage - 5 leaves, chopped
• Vegetable broth - 1/2 cup

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, almond flour, arrowroot powder, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (using almond flour) and knead gently until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into four portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 1/2 inch thick, then cut into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
4. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
5. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped sage and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat in the sage oil. Pour in the vegetable broth and let simmer for another 2-3 minutes to warm through.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with additional sage if desired.
