I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Preheat oven to 200 degrees for the toasting of the pine nuts mentioned later in the recipe.
Lightly dust a large tray with flour and set aside.
Place water in bowl and full potatoes in the Varoma. Steam on Varoma 25 mins speed 1.
While the potatoes are steaming and the oven is preheated place the pinenuts on a tray and brown on the top shelf for 3 mins. Then set aside until needed.
When the timer is up add 100g of water and the Pumpkin in the basket to the bowl replace the varoma with potatoes and continue to steam on Varoma temp for 20 mins speed 1.
With steaming completed remove the Varoma with potatoes and the basket with the pumkin and set aside. Discard water and rinse and dry mixing bowl.
Once potatoes have cooled a little (about half hour). Carefully remove and discard potato skin. (it helps to hold the warm potatoes with paper towel as you peel)
Place the peeled potatoes into the mixing bowl and mash 5 seconds speed 4. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with the spatula and then mash 20 seconds speed 4.
Transfer the puree into a large bowl. Allow the pototo puree to cool to room temp around 45 mins. Wash and dry mixing bowl.
Add salt, yolks and flour to puree. Mix with the spatula to combine. Be careful not to over mix.
Section dough into 4 portions. Place a portion on floured thermomat and knead lightly. (If dough is too sticky add a little extra flour).
Roll dough into a 30 cm long log and cut into 2cm pieces. Place onto prepared floured tray and continue with the remaining portions.
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. Once boiling transfer gnocchi into saucepan in batches of about 20 at a time. Cook until they rise to the surface. Remove and transfer to a tray so they don't stick together.

I love this recipe! I add half a cauliflower after the purée step.
Super delicious 🥬 added more spinach than recipe suggested. Not as much stock as suggested, ham steaks (as we had no bacon) and some thyme and parmigiana to garnish. Sooooo yummy. Definitely making again. There is enough sauce for two packets of gnocchi or over something else...grilled chicken or pork steaks.
This is a favourite in our house. I alway cheat though and buy th gnocchi 🤪. The sauce is delectable!
with the stock is that like 1 tbs then water to make the 250g??
I made this as a risotto instead of gnocchi. Amazing!
Thank you for sharing, Made ricotta gnocchi was amazing. Restaurant quality
