Pumpkin Gnocchi with Gorgonzola and Sage Butter

Now October is all about Halloween and Halloween equals pumpkin carving. But pumpkin carving is one of the most wasteful activities known to man! Last year an estimated 22.2 million went in the bin after they were carved. The only inedible part of a pumpkin is the stalk, meaning the rest can be put to great use and the experts at Ocado have come up with some fabulous seasonal recipes, including this delicious pumpkin gnocchi recipe, to make use of every part of this versatile vegetable.
​Use up any leftover pumpkin from lantern carving to make this filling, comforting pumpkin gnocci with gorgonzola and sage butter recipe for the whole family.
Ingredients: 
  • 200g ricotta
  • 1 (425g) tin pumpkin purée (or use fresh purée; swap for butternut squash if you prefer)
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 tsp fine salt
  • 2 tsp light brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • 300g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 2 thyme sprigs (approx.), to decorate (optional)
  • 200ml double cream
  • 100g gorgonzola, chopped
  • 30g parmesan, finely grated
  • 100g cavolo nero, finely sliced
  • 100g salted butter
  • 20 sage leaves
  • 50g chopped walnuts

Method: 
  1. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Blitz the ricotta in a food processor for a few secs to loosen, then add the pumpkin purée, egg yolks, salt, sugar, nutmeg and a little black pepper. Add the flour and mix until it comes together as a dough.
  2. Turn out onto a floured work surface; knead briefly. Divide into quarters, then roll into logs, flatten slightly and cut into ‘pillows’, placing them on one of the lined trays as you go. For ‘pumpkins’, roll into balls and indent the tops and sides with a toothpick. Create a ‘stalk’ by pressing a small sprig of thyme into the top of each pumpkin. Chill for 30 mins to firm up.
  3. Cook the chilled gnocchi in a large pan of boiling salted water for 2-3 mins until they float to the surface (you may need to do this in batches). Wait for 30 secs to 1 min, so they’re just cooked through, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the second lined baking tray. Set aside while you make the sauce.
  4. Put the cream, gorgonzola and parmesan into a medium pan and warm gently over a low heat, whisking until combined. Stir the cavolo nero into the sauce until wilted; season to taste.
  5. Melt half the butter in a frying pan with 10 sage leaves. Add half the gnocchi with half the walnuts and cook for a few mins until the bottoms are caramelised, basting with hot butter. Remove and set aside. Repeat with the other half.
  6. To serve, divide the blue cheese sauce and gnocchi between plates, then spoon over the crispy sage butter and the caramelised walnuts.

I am a very happy woman with the help of Dr Krish Spiritual who helped me restore my relationship with my ex husband. My name is Agnes Smith and I am from Alaska, USA. I met Dr Krish Spiritual through a testimony online and I never thought I would have my ex husband back after 4 years of separation. After my contact with his email, he told me not to worry and I would really be happy as I am now. Trusting in his words was the right decision for me. After 2 days, my ex husband called me saying that he wants to return back to me and live with me forever and I was very shocked. This made me believe that Dr Krish is really a very great spiritual man. Today, I am very happy to write this testimony about him and want others to testify to his power as I am currently happy in my restored marriage. Don't waste time on that relationship problem. Contact Dr Krish Spiritual directly through his email at [email protected] to help you solve that relationship problems in your marriage

I want to use this medium to share my incredible manifesting with Dr. Kachi, who truly changed my life. For a long time, I struggled with homelessness after losing my job as a nurse. Life felt like an endless battle, and I spent many years trying to win the lottery, hoping for a better future. But despite my efforts, I had no success and was growing increasingly frustrated. That was until I came across an amazing testimony from a woman named Natasha, who shared how Dr. Kachi helped her win the National EuroMillions jackpot. I had always loved playing EuroMillions, but winning seemed impossible for me. However, after seeing Natasha's story, I decided to reach out to Dr. Kachi prepared a special spell to help me with guaranteed lucky numbers. Within 24 hours, he provided me with the winning numbers and instructed me to play. To my amazement, I won £184.656 million in the EuroMillions! Thanks to Dr. Kachi, my life has been transformed, and my financial situation has changed for the better. I will never forget this joyful moment, as it has been the best thing to ever happen to me. If you’re struggling and seeking a way out, never give up. Dr. Kachi can help you, just as he helped me. Keep your faith and take a chance – your life could change too! contact website https://drkachispellcaster.wixsite.com/my-site his email [email protected] or his phone text or call number: +1 (209) 893-8075
