It&#8217;s the flavor that defines autumn! But pumpkin isn&#8217;t just for desserts; it&#8217;s also incredible in savory dishes. It&#8217;s comforting with a hint of sweetness and nuttiness, reminiscent of sweet potatoes or butternut squash. Plus, using canned pumpkin puree makes cooking with it a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this gnocchi dish, we create a sauce with pumpkin puree, tomato, and herbs, similar to a marinara. Pumpkin pairs beautifully with sage and sausage, making them perfect additions to the gnocchi and sauce. Our go-to pumpkin puree brand is Libby&#8217;s\u2014it&#8217;s just unbeatable! Wondering what to do with the extra pumpkin puree? Try out some pumpkin recipes to use it all up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweet Italian sausage is fantastic in this dish, but you can also try mild or hot Italian sausage for a different twist.
