  • 1 15 ounce can Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 10.75 ounce can Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1/2 cup Milk Any kind
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder

  • to taste Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, cream of mushroom soup, milk, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Add the gnocchi to the pumpkin mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
  4. Transfer the gnocchi mixture to an oven-safe baking dish that fits in your air fryer. If using a basket-style air fryer, you may need to cook this in batches.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top.
  6. Air fry for 20-25 minutes, or until the gnocchi are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If using a basket-style air fryer, you may need to shake the basket halfway through cooking.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add other vegetables, such as spinach or mushrooms, to the gnocchi mixture. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
