Roy's Five Spice Kabocha Pumpkin Gnocchi
Chef Roy Yamaguchi's delicious home cooked pumpkin gnocchi is perfect for fall!
Ingredients
- Gnocchi
- 2 cups kabocha pumpkin, baked, skin removed, mashed and strained through a sieve
- 2 cups potatoes, baked, skin removed, mashed and strained through a sieve
- 1 teaspoon Five Spice
- 4 cups to 5 cups of flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 4 eggs, slightly beaten
- water for boiling gnocchi
- salt to taste
- steamed vegetables for garnish
- Herb Brown Butter Sauce
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large shallot, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 0.25 cup sherry wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon assorted herbs (basil, thyme, parsley), finely chopped
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine kabocha pumpkin, potato, Five Spice, 4 cups flour, and salt and pepper. Stir ingredients gently to blend.
- Add eggs and stir lightly; do not over mix. The mixture will look slightly lumpy and unmixed.
- Turn out on a lightly floured board and gently knead the dough a couple of times. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Cover with a dry cloth and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- Slice 1” strips off the main piece of dough and gently roll into a uniform rope shape.
- Cut ½” pieces from each rope and lightly roll into oblong football shapes.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil with a little salt.
- Drop in gnocchi one by one. They will sink to the bottom of the pot, but as they cook they’ll float to the top.
- Melt butter in a heated pan until it starts to brown.
- Add cooked gnocchi and brown slightly.
- Stir in vinegar. Simmer mixture until reduced by half.
- Stir in herbs and salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with vegetables.
