Pumpkin gnocchi

Gnocchi
Preheat oven to 180ºC (350° F) on Bake
1. Arrange pumpkin pieces on a lined baking tray, drizzle with a little olive oil and roast until tender (approximately 30 minutes).
2. Meanwhile boil the potatoes in salted water with the skins on until tender. Drain well and peel with a paring knife while still hot. (If the potatoes are not hot when peeled they can become gluey when mashed.)
3. Place peeled potatoes in a large mixing bowl, add roasted pumpkin pieces and mash until very smooth. Make a well in the centre.
4. Add egg, parmesan, nutmeg, and half the flour. Mix together with a butter knife until just combined.
5. Turn out onto a floured bench, season well with salt and pepper, and slowly incorporate as much of the remaining flour until the dough is no longer sticky. It is important not to overwork the mixture.
6. Divide dough into thirds, and roll out into lengths approx 1 inch thick. Sprinkle with a little flour and cut on the diagonal into 1½ inch long pieces. Gently place gnocchi onto a floured tray.
7. Boil a large pot of salted water. Heat a little oil and butter in a large, heavy-based frying pan.
8. Boil gnocchi in batches. They will rise to the surface when cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon, and transfer to frying pan.
9. Fry until golden, turning once. Keep cooked gnocchi warm in a low oven until all gnocchi are cooked.
Serve immediately with sage butter sauce and shaved parmesan.

Sage butter sauce
In a medium-sized pan, heat butter over a low heat. Once melted, add sage leaves and fry until crisp. Remove pan from heat and add garlic. Spoon over cooked gnocchi.
