Is Trader Joe's pumpkin gnocchi good?

Yes! It’s soft, subtly sweet, and easy to prepare. While homemade always has the edge, Trader Joe’s is a convenient, tasty option.

Can you make pumpkin gnocchi?

Absolutely. With just a few ingredients—pumpkin, flour, egg, spices—you can shape, cook, and customize them right at home.

Try roasted meats, fall veggies like Brussels sprouts, or light salads. A sage cream sauce or tomato reduction enhances its flavor.

Sage butter, brown butter, tomato cream, or vegan herb sauces all work beautifully. They complement the natural sweetness of pumpkin.
