Pumpkin Gnocchi with Brown Butter and Crispy Sage

This dish just screams fall. It also passes off as a fancy meal without requiring too much effort. Seriously, the whole thing takes me less than 20 minutes to make. Easy peazy.

1 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp salt
About 1 cup flour

1/4 cup butter
1 handful fresh Sage leaves

1. Mix together the pumpkin puree, egg yolk and salt.
2. Add flour to form a soft dough. Knead for a few minutes.
3. Divide the dough into handfuls. Roll out some 1/2 inch dough snakes. (ya know, roll it out into ropes).
4. Use a butter knife to cut the snakes/ropes into 1/2 pieces.
5. Cook the gnocchi in boiling water (in small batches) until they float, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from water and set aside.
6. In a saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the sage leaves. Continue to cook the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter begins to brown. Remove from heat immediately.
7. Toss in the gnocchi. Enjoy.
