Pumpkin Gnocchi...so much to love about Fall!

Last night's dinner was one of our yummiest at home...the very seasonal delight, Pumpkin Gnocchi.  Purchased at our favorite grocery store, tossed in browned butter with fresh sage and topped with walnuts, these "mouth pillows of goodness" were the sublime conclusion to our autumnal day.
 
So it seems that a lot of people know that they have heard of gnocchi before (pronounced "nyo key") but they don't really know what it actually is and have never tried it. Despite being listed alongside pasta dishes, gnocchi is not a pasta, but is actually a kind of Italian dumpling. Also worth noting is that gnocchi is not stuffed with anything, but rather incorporates all of the major flavors into the actual dough, which when cooked just right, can give you that tender center. It is usually based on a starch and flour-centric dough, containing things like potato, squash, ricotta, spinach, or today's focus: pumpkin. -From Mike's Table
