pumpkin gnocchi from Belluno

Cut the pumpkin into large pieces and bake it in the oven. Pass the pulp through a food mill, add the egg yolk, season with salt, incorporate the flour, and work the dough until it is soft and homogeneous. Shape the gnocchi using the tip of a spoon and cook them in salted boiling water for a few minutes (the cooking time depends on the quality of the pumpkin). Drain them and dress with browned melted butter and grated smoked ricotta.
