Preparation Steps
1
Boil the potatoes in their skins in salted water for about 20 minutes, or until they are completely tender.
2
Peel the potatoes while still warm, then mash them in a bowl using a potato ricer or fork.
3
Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly, then add the egg, salt, and flour. Knead into a soft, non-sticky dough.
4
Divide the dough into several portions and roll them into logs. Cut into approximately 2 cm pieces with a sharp knife.
5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in small batches until they float to the surface (about 2 minutes), then drain.
6
Melt the butter in a skillet, then sauté the cooked gnocchi until lightly golden brown.
7
In another skillet, toast the roughly chopped pumpkin seeds until they are crispy.
8
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, crushed garlic, and grated Parmesan. Heat over medium heat.
9
Cook the sauce until the Parmesan is completely melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.
10
Pour the Parmesan sauce over the sautéed gnocchi and gently toss to coat.
11
Sprinkle with the toasted pumpkin seeds, add a little freshly ground pepper, and drizzle with pumpkin seed oil for extra flavor.
12
Serve immediately, while hot, garnished with a little extra Parmesan cheese!
