INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 lb Pumpkin or other squash
4 oz Plain white flour, sifted
1 1/2 oz Parmesan cheese, grated
1 oz Watercress leaves, picked
off the
stalks
1 Spring onion, finely sliced
green part included
2 oz Small green and purple basil
leaves
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper
6 Olive oil
1 oz Watercress, large stalks
removed then
roughly chopped
1 oz Parmesan cheese, grated
1 Clove garlic, very finely
chopped
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel and cut the pumpkin into 3cm/1 1/2 in chunks and place in a
heavy-based saucepan, just covered with water and seasoned with a
little salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 6-7  minutes
until tender. Drain well, mash with a fork or potato masher  and add
the sifted flour. Mix well until thoroughly incorporated,  then add the
Parmesan, shredded watercress, sliced spring onion and  the whole green
and purple basil leaves Add salt and pepper to taste  Shape the mixture
with your fingers - lightly dipped in flour - into  elongated pieces
the size of walnuts and set aside.  Bring a large pan of salted water
to the boil and drop the gnocchi in  for 2 minutes until cooked and no
longer floury. Test one first to  make sure that it does not fall apart
when cooking. Add a little more  flour if necessary.  To make the
sauce, mix the oil, chopped watercress, Parmesan, garlic,  salt and
pepper in a bowl. Place the drained gnocchi in a large flat  bowl, pour
the sauce all over and serve at once.  Converted by MC_Buster.  NOTES :
These gnocchi are sunshine coloured with bright green and  purple
streaks. The watercress and spring onion cut through the  sweet, thick
consistency of the pumpkin and bring a crisp, fresh  element to the
gnocchi. Use a brightly coloured pumpkin with flesh  that is neither
too tough nor too watery.  Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
