This dish is perfect for autumn and winter seasons, and it's a great way to impress your guests with your culinary skills.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Pumpkin Pillows:

- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

For the Brown Butter Sage Sauce:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
To start, mix the pumpkin puree, flour, egg, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl until well combined. Roll the dough into small balls and flatten them slightly to form pillows. Boil a pot of salted water and cook the pumpkin pillows for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
Next, prepare the brown butter sage sauce. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Add the sage leaves, salt, and black pepper, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sage leaves are crispy.
To serve, place the pumpkin pillows on a plate and drizzle the brown butter sage sauce over them. Garnish with additional sage leaves if desired.
This dish is a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors, with the soft and pillowy texture of the pumpkin pillows contrasting with the crispy sage leaves and nutty brown butter sauce. It's a great appetizer or side dish that will leave your guests wanting more.
