Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound shelf-stable gnocchi
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the gnocchi and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and sage until smooth.
Pour the pumpkin sauce over the gnocchi in the skillet. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce.
If you don’t have fresh sage, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried sage.
