Want more savory pumpkin recipes? You’ll love my Pumpkin Pasta Sauce and Pumpkin Pasta Bake as well! What could be better than gnocchi for dinner? These pillowy and puffy potato pasta “nuggets” are quick and easy to cook and only get better when they’re surrounded by creamy and indulgent sauces. That’s why I’m always making my Tuscan Vegan Gnocchi and Creamy Pesto Gnocchi for comforting weeknight dinners. Vegan Pumpkin Gnocchi, on the other hand, is perfect for fall and winter meals. Potato gnocchi simmers in an aromatic coconut milk and sage-infused pumpkin sauce before stirring in a handful of kale or spinach for some sneaky nutrients. Every bite is bursting with comforting fall flavors! What’s even better is that this pumpkin gnocchi recipe is quick and easy, made with a handful of simple ingredients, and comes together in one pan. It’s the ultimate winter or fall dinner that’s best eaten after a long, cold day.

Find the complete printable recipe with measurements below in the recipe card. Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the gnocchi to the pan, along with the coconut milk, vegetable broth, pumpkin puree, dried sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Bring the pumpkin cream sauce up to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Stir the chopped kale/spinach into the pumpkin gnocchi and cook until the leaves wilt. You’ll know the dish is ready to serve when the gnocchi is soft, but not mushy, and the sauce has thickened. Serve right away and enjoy!
