Fall is the season for all things pumpkin: pumpkin bread, pumpkin lattes, and so much more. It’s the flavor that defines autumn! But pumpkin isn’t just for desserts; it’s also incredible in savory dishes. It’s comforting with a hint of sweetness and nuttiness, reminiscent of sweet potatoes or butternut squash. Plus, using canned pumpkin puree makes cooking with it a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this gnocchi dish, we create a sauce with pumpkin puree, tomato, and herbs, similar to a marinara. Pumpkin pairs beautifully with sage and sausage, making them perfect additions to the gnocchi and sauce. Our go-to pumpkin puree brand is Libby’s\u2014it’s just unbeatable! Wondering what to do with the extra pumpkin puree? Try out some pumpkin recipes to use it all up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sweet Italian sausage is fantastic in this dish, but you can also try mild or hot Italian sausage for a different twist. Serve with bread to soak up the sauce and a fresh salad to complete the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
