Shopping List

Sweet potatoes, 1 ½ lbs

00 flour, 1 1/3 cup + reserve 1/4 cup

Unsalted butter, 3 oz

Egg yolks, 3x

Parmesan cheese, 1 oz

Lemon, 1x

Pumpkin Spice Mix, 1 tsp

Balinese Truffle Salt, to taste

Sage, 8-10 leaves

Pumpkin seeds, 1/2 cup

Truffle Carpaccio, 1 jar

Prep

  1. Fill the large pot with water and place on the stove on low heat.
  2. In a bowl, mix the wet ingredients: mashed sweet potatoes, egg yolks, lemon zest, and Parmesan. Season with Balinese Truffle Salt and half of the Pumpkin Spice Mix.
  3. Reserve ¼ cup of flour (this will be our bench flour) and place half of the remaining flour on the work surface. Place the sweet potato mixture on this flour and top with the rest of the flour. Slowly chop the remaining flour into the wet mixture until the texture resembles play doh. Form the gnocchi dough into a disc.
  4. Cut the dough into 6 wedges. Roll one wedge into a rope ¾ in thick. Use a knife or bench scraper to cut knuckle sized pieces. Repeat with the remaining wedges.
  5. Roll the portions down a fork onto the sheet tray dusted with flour to form the gnocchi.

How to cook

  1. Melt butter until golden brown in a shallow pan. Coarsely chop the pumpkin seeds and add to the melted butter along with the sage leaves, a pinch of Balinese Truffle Salt. Once the butter has browned, sprinkle in the remaining Pumpkin Spice Mix.
  2. Add a pinch of salt to the large pot of boiling water and blanch the gnocchi for about 2-3 minutes, or until all gnocchi are floating.
  3. Remove gnocchi with a slotted spoon, and place into the large pan with the brown butter sage sauce.
  4. Toss gnocchi and brown butter sauce with the Truffle Carpaccio, and a squeeze of lemon.
  5. Plate attractively with the sage leaves. If desired, sprinkle lightly with Balinese Truffle Salt.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
