This Christmas we enjoyed my homemade pumpkin gnocchi with butter and fresh sage from my garden. I made these from two big pumpkins I had from the autumn harvest. So easy to make, here is the recipe for anyone who wants to try making these little delights.
For Pumpkin Gnocchi
600 g (about 2 ½ cups) of cooked pumpkin pulp (that is, 1 pumpkin of about 1,3 kg /2,8 lbs.). Use a sweet pumpkin
300 g (2 ¼ cups) of all purpose or 3 cups of "00" flour
1 medium egg
¼ teaspoon fine salt
freshly ground black pepper
a pinch of nutmeg
For the Seasoning
100 g (about 1 stick) of butter
5/6 fresh sage leaves
1 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Today something special and comforting I made for lunch for me and my pops. The simplest things bring joy in difficult times. This is minestra maritata, a classic and always delicious. Here's how I make it. Buon appetito!
RECIPE
Meatballs:
1 small onion, grated
1/3 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 large egg
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 slice fresh white bread, crust trimmed, bread torn into small pieces
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
8 ounces ground beef
8 ounces ground pork
Freshly ground black pepper
Soup:
12 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 pound curly endive, coarsely chopped (1 pound of escarole would be a good substitution)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra for garnish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Step 1. To make the meatballs: Stir the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl to blend. Stir in the cheese, beef and pork. Using 1 1/2 teaspoons for each, shape the meat mixture into 1-inch-diameter meatballs. Place on a baking sheet.
Step 2. To make the soup: Bring the broth to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and curly endive and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through and the curly endive is tender, about 8 minutes. Whisk the eggs and cheese in a medium bowl to blend. Stir the soup in a circular motion. Gradually drizzle the egg mixture into the moving broth, stirring gently with a fork to form thin stands of egg, about 1 minute. Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.
