Step 1
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place the pumpkin on a sheet pan. Sprinkle with salt and roast for 20 minutes or until tender.

Remove the peel and mash the pumpkin in a bowl. Add the egg and flour and mix to create a sticky dough.

Using a fork or gnocchi board, press the dough rectangles using a rolling motion to shape the gnocchi.
