Ingredients
  

1 pound potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Fresh sage leaves for garnish (optional)

Extra Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface, typically about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

      Mix in Pumpkin: Stir in the pumpkin puree, followed by the heavy cream. Mix until well combined.

        Season the Sauce: Add the grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, cinnamon, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir continuously over medium-low heat until the cheese has melted and the sauce is heated through, about 3-5 minutes.

          Combine Gnocchi and Sauce: Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the pumpkin Alfredo sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm everything through.

            Serve: Plate the gnocchi and sauce, garnish with fresh sage leaves and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately and settle in for a warm, comforting meal that captures the essence of fall!
