| 10½ | ounce | Low-salt chicken broth |
| ⅛ | teaspoon | Salt |
| 1¾ | cup | All-purpose flour |
| 1 | cup | Pumpkin puree; fresh or canned |

Directions
1. Melt margarine in a medium nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons flour; cook 30 seconds. Add wine and broth; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes or until thick. Stir in ⅛ teaspoon salt. Remove from heat; set aside, and keep warm.
2. Combine 1¾ cups flour, pumpkin puree, ½ teaspoon salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir well to form a smooth dough (dough will be slightly sticky). Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape dough into a 12 x 3-inch-long roll. Cut roll lengthwise into 6 (½-inch-thick) strips, and cut each strip into 12 (1-inch) pieces. Press each piece of dough with a lightly floured fork. Place gnocchi on a lightly floured baking sheet; set aside.
3. Preheat oven to 450 oF.
4. Bring water to boil in a large Dutch oven. Add half of gnocchi; cook 3 minutes or until done. Remove gnocchi with a slotted spoon; place in a colander. Repeat with remaining gnocchi.
5. Place gnocchi in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; spoon sauce evenly over gnocchi. Sprinkle with cheese, paprika, and pepper.
Bake at 450 oF for 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve warm.
