1. Pumpkin Gnocchi Method: Mash cooked pumpkin add plain flour to form a dough. Turn mixture onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into handful sized portions and roll into 2cm thick logs. Using a floured knife cut log into 2cm pieces, roll each piece into a ball. Using your thumb gently push and roll balls along the back of a floured fork. Place on floured tray.
2. Bring a large saucepan of water to a rapid boil, season with salt. Boil gnocchi in batches for 2-3 minutes or until they float.

7. Layer sliced tomatoes over the top, drizzle with tomato spread. Top with a sprinkling of breadcrumbs followed by the rest of the cheese. Bake for 30 -40 minutes. Until topping is golden and crispy. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 - 15 minutes. Best served just warm.
