Nutritional yeast is a low-cost option with cheesy flavor.

Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes until soft.

Peel and mash the sweet potatoes to yield about 1 1/2 cups.

Add 1 beaten egg, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the mashed sweet potatoes.

Mix the ingredients with clean hands until combined.

Gradually add about 1 1/2 cups of flour until a non-sticky dough forms, similar to play-doh.

Roll the dough into a long rope of even thickness and cut into small pieces.

Use a fork to shape each piece of dough by rolling it against the tines.

Boil water in a pot and add salt; then add the gnocchi without stirring.

Cook the gnocchi until they float to the top, indicating they are done.

In a skillet, melt butter and add the cooked gnocchi to brown them slightly.

Serve the gnocchi with pesto, shredded parmesan, and a basil leaf.
