Ok, 3.5. It was tasty but ...
- I still haven't mastered making gnocchi that are fluffy in any sense. They were a bit lump-like although not the worst I've made.
- I didn't do the ricotta-through-the-sieve bit. I put all the gnocchi ingredients into the food processor and buzzed.
- I only used 1tsp of sugar (instead of 2tsp).
- The 1-1/2 cups of flour asked for the gnocchi did not give anything approximating "dough", even the soft dough that's specified. It was probably another cup that I added to get something that could be rolled and cut. And this could be why they were heavier than they should have been.
- The recipe says it serves 2 to 4. I cannot imagine two people eating all of this. I put half into the freezer and we still had a substantial meal.
- The gnocchi were tasty, but I can't say they tasted strongly of pumpkin.
- Makes a pretty dish.
