- Place a colander over a saucepan of boiling water, water line below the colander (or use a steamer pot, if you have one). Place in pumpkin, cover lightly then steam for 15 minutes. Remove to a bowl then mash.
- Stir in egg yolk, Parmesan and nutmeg. Slowly add flour mixture until it forms a dough and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Roll into 2 cm balls, place on a lined baking tray then press down lightly with the back of a fork.
- In a frying pan, stir together the butter, onion, garlic, beans and peas. Cook until tender. Stir in lemon juice, basil leaves and pesto.
- In a saucepan of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi until it floats. Remove with a slotted spoon and stir into the pea mixture until coated. Sprinkle with a bit of Parmesan to serve.
