The first time I tasted gnocchi, I knew it was going to be life-long bond. So when Fall came around, I knew exactly what to do.

#GalTip: Make yourself way more than 2 servings... even if it's just you.

Prep Time: 5 min.

Cook Time: 15 min.

Total Time: 20 min.

Makes: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 Tbsp butter

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg

  • 1/4 tsp chili powder

  • Pinch cayenne pepper

  • Freshly cracked black pepper

  • 2 Tbsp half & half or cream

  • 8 oz. pasta

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Boil a large pot of water for gnocchi. Once water is boiling, add the gnocchi and boil for 7-10 minutes, then drain in a colander.

2. While waiting for the water to boil, prepare the sauce. Mince two cloves of garlic and add them to a large skillet with one tablespoon of butter. Sauté over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes, or just until the garlic is soft and fragrant.

3. Add the pumpkin purée and chicken broth to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the nutmeg, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and some freshly cracked black pepper. Stir in the spices and let the sauce simmer over medium-low heat while the pasta cooks (about 10 minutes), stirring occasionally.

4. Once the pasta is finished cooking and is draining in a colander, add the half and half or cream to the skillet and stir it into the pumpkin sauce. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed (this will depend on the type of broth you use). Finally, stir in the drained pasta into the sauce and serve with a very large glass of wine. You deserve it.
