Ingredients
Whole Wheat Flour, .75 cupCheese, Ricotta, fat free, 1 cupPumpkin, canned, without salt, 1 cupEgg, fresh, 1 largeCinnamon, ground, .5 tspNutmeg, ground, 0.25 tspSalt, .5 tsp
Directions
1.Mix together the flour, pumpkin, ricotta, and seasonings to make a soft dough.
2.Add additional flour if the dough is sticky or does not hold together.
3.Divide the dough into 6 parts, and on a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a rope about 1 inch in diameter.
4.Cut the rope into 1 inch pieces and roll each lightly along the floured surface.
5.Continue using up all the dough in this fashion. Place on a lightly floured baking sheet. You can refrigerate the gnocchi until you are ready to cook them.
6. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a generous pinch of salt and reduce heat until the water bubbles lightly. Add the gnocchi - stir once, so they don't stick to the bottom - and let cook until they start floating on top. Depending on their size this may take 4 to 6 minutes. Take out with a skimmer, because pouring them through a pasta strainer could easily damage these fragile gnocchi
