I know it's spring and all, and pumpkin isn't exactly in season. But I don't care. Pumpkin is good any time, especially in Happy Herbivore's yummy Pumpkin Gnocchi with Alfredo Sauce:
Both recipes come from The Happy Herbivore Cookbook, Volume One. The pumpkin gnocchi offers an alternative to traditional potato-based gnocchi. It's super garlicky and since the recipe only serves two, it made just enough to feed me dinner and leftovers the next day.
The alfredo sauce recipe is actually listed separately under the book's sauce section, but I thought it'd be the perfect gnocchi topping. And I was right! I've tried a lot of vegan alfredo sauce recipes, and this is my favorite! It's so creamy and delicious. I had a hard time not eating the sauce by itself from the pan with a spoon. This will be my new go-to alfredo recipe.

You're 100% right- anytime of year is a good time for pumpkin! Pumpkin gnocchi is awesome, I haven't made it in so long.

you are a great sales person! Now I really want to try this sauce recipe. I'm still looking for a favorite vegan version!
Oh, yum. :-)
I was going to make gnocchi soon, too. I saw some on food network and felt inspired. Your post is only more encouragement!
I want to eat the for dinner. Damn..
oooh, that looks delicious. I love anything with pumpkin. I've only made gnocchi once, and it didn't turn out so good, but I definitely need to try again because I love it.
I hope you enjoy my loaf while you're out of town!
I was just thinking the other day that I wanted to try making gnocchi. Now I can't, because I'll just look like a wanna-be. Bitch.
I had your pizza for lunch today - I thought it was great! I've never (never?!) made my own pizza crust, so I sure as hell can't judge anyway. The noochy sauce was saucy and noochy. Yummm.
Oh, and your haiku brought a tear to my eye. Just sayin'.
I LOVE pumpkin year round!
This looks great!!
