Pumpkin Gnocchi with Kale Pesto


This is deceptively simple and quick. I've wanted to try a vegan gnocchi for a while and I cannot get over how Amazeballs this is.

I used about a cup of organic raw pumpkin, cubed, which I boiled until al dente. Then, I drained and put in a large bowl. Add between a cup and a cup and a half of spelt flour and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms, then turn out into a chopping board and knead some more.




I find the best way to make gnocchi is to roll it into long snakes and then chop into 1cm pieces. 





Put the gnocchi pieces into a bowl and refrigerate for twenty minutes until firmed up. Meanwhile, set a pot of water boiling and add some olive oil and salt. 


(My little helpers love to watch the cooking action)



Boil the gnocchi pieces for around 3-5 minutes and then strain.




 Serve with your topping of choice (I made a kale pesto with kale, walnuts, Parmesan, garlic, evoo).
