Pumpkin Gnocchi in Sage Butter

Directions

1. 1

   In a small bowl combine the flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir in pumpkin until blended. On a lightly floured surface, knead 10-12 times, forming a soft dough. Let rest for 10 minutes.
2. 2

   Divide dough into 4 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 1/2-in.-thick rope; cut into 3/4-in. pieces. Press and roll each piece with a lightly floured fork.
3. 3

   In a Dutch oven, bring water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in batches for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon; keep warm.
4. 4

   In a large heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sage, garlic and gnocchi; stir to coat.
