My gnocchi of gourd with shitake mushrooms and Sage butter

These gnocchi of gourd with shitake mushrooms and Sage butter have become the surprise of the autumn, and it is that they liked all in house.

I have to confess that I had never made gnocchi, but had been long in my list of outstanding recipes. So this year, when I decided that it would publish a series of recipes with pumpkin because he was eager to do so, it was clear that one of them would be the gnocchi, and has proven to be a fantastic idea!

LOAs home-made gnocchi are super easy and they are super rich, and you don't know what I enjoyed with my son preparing them. To compensate for that it is a dish that fills enough, I chose a light sauce. Ta they will only sautéed in a little butter. Yes you can use oil instead but the flavor changes so I've preferred to publish the version with butter because I liked more.

This recipe will serve to make them only of potato, although after so pleasant experience of making these pumpkin gnocchi, I do not take much to make the potato, and if you want the I share with you.

So here we have the second recipe pumpkin of autumn, which I repeat this weekend and I hope you like it, a rich pumpkin gnocchi. As always your comments and photos will be more than welcomed. Now, enjoy cooking love!
