Gnocchi With Creamy Pumpkin Sauce Recipe
Gnocchi is a classic Italian pasta, but it is also made under different names in various countries in Europe. It is a delicious recipe that contains potatoes in its dough and is more practical than other homemade pastas. After learning the tricks in the cooking course we had the opportunity to attend during our trip to Italy, I wanted to share the pumpkin version with you. If you are wondering how to use the pumpkins left aside before the summer, this recipe is a good opportunity.
Once you've prepared the gnocchi, you don't have to cook them all at the same time. You can freeze them so that they do not touch each other and store them for up to six months.
