Gnocchi
  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil.
  2. Add water and potato flakes into a bowl. Make a well with the instant potatoes. Then add egg, pumpkin, flour and minced sage. Knead until you form a soft dough. May need to keep adding flour to the dough the more you knead.
  3. On a floured surface, roll a portion of the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rope. Cut crosswise in ¾-inch pieces. Press and roll each piece on a gnocchi board or fork. Cook gnocchi in batches in boiling water until they float to the top. Remove with slotted spoon. Don’t forget to save the pasta water!

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly and cook until thickened. Add gnocchi, toss to coat. Serve with parmesan cheese on top.
