Ingredients:

For the Pumpkin Gnocchi:

- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

For the Brown Butter Sage Sauce:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, flour, egg, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until a dough forms.
2. Divide the dough into four equal parts and roll each part into a long rope.
3. Cut the ropes into small pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi to the pot and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
5. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter turns a golden brown color and the sage leaves are crispy.
6. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cooked gnocchi to the pan. Toss to coat the gnocchi in the brown butter sage sauce.
7. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the gnocchi and season with salt and pepper to taste.
