Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Serving Tip:
For added flavor, sauté the gnocchi in olive oil or nondairy butter and serve with a creamy garlic and sage sauce. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or toasted pumpkin seeds would also be a lovely addition!
Wine Advice:
The light, earthy flavors of these pumpkin gnocchi call for a wine that’s equally subtle and elegant. A crisp white wine like a Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley would be a perfect pairing. Its mineral notes and bright acidity will beautifully complement the pumpkin and sage. Alternatively, for a red, a light-bodied Pinot Noir from Oregon would be a wonderful choice, with its earthy undertones and red fruit notes that will make every bite a delight.
