1 pound gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon dried sage (or 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Cook the gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook until they float, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the aromatics: Toss in the minced garlic and dried sage, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Incorporate the pumpkin: Pour in the pumpkin puree and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Cook on low heat for 3-5 minutes until bubbly.
Melt in the cheese: Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, adding pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
Combine: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce and letting it absorb flavors for a minute.
Serve hot: Dish out and sprinkle with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired.
