Pumpkin gnocchi with blue cheese sauce

 
Today's recipe is very easy to make, at first it may seem very laborious, but it is not that much, and the satisfaction of making your own fresh pasta and then eating it is priceless. In addition, it is a recipe that you can make with your kids, surely you will spend a very fun morning together.

Ingredients for 2 people:
- 7 oz of clean pumpkin (seedless and peeled).
- 5.3 oz of flour
- 1 egg white
- Oil
- Salt
- 3.5 oz of cream
- 1 oz of blue cheese
- 0.25 oz of butter
- 1 tablespoon of white wine
- Chopped parsley

Recipe:
- Cut the pumpkin into medium pieces.
- In a frying pan with a few drops of olive oil, sauté the pumpkin over medium heat until it softens. (You can also do this step in the oven if you prefer.)
- Crush the pumpkin in a glass suitable for a blender.
- Place it in a large bowl and add half of the flour.
- Sprinkle a little salt, add the egg white and the rest of the flour.
- Knead well for 4-5 minutes until you get a manageable dough.
- Cover the bowl with a cloth and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle a little flour on the counter and put the dough on top.
- Start making elongated rolls with it that are approximately 1cm thick.
- Cut the rolls into pieces of approximately 1cm long (it is important that you do not make them much larger, since when they cook they are very fattening and otherwise they will be too large).
- When you have them cut, pass a fork through the upper part, to make the classic slits of the gnocchi.
- Cook them in plenty of boiling water.
- When you see that they float, let them cook for two more minutes and then drain them.
- For the sauce, heat the butter and blue cheese over medium heat in a saucepan, mixing continuously until they melt.
- Pour in the white wine and cream and continue stirring all the time.
- Cook the sauce for approximately 5 minutes until all the ingredients are well integrated and the sauce has thickened a little.
- Mix the gnocchi with the sauce.
- Sprinkle a little chopped parsley on top.


Bon appétit!
