I'm trying to make this now and I'm running into the exact same issue. I've gone through 3 cups of flour (we are now out) and it's a wet sludge that prefers to stick to the surface I'm rolling on or my hands to making a "long snake".

Hi Jen,
What I meant from my question is: since all sizes of squash vary, about how many cups of squash should yield from the squash for this recipe?

Hi Makeitct,
Wow! I'm surprised the dough was sticky even after 2 lbs of flour! Kabocha squash is actually quite starchy and shouldn't be that sticky. Perhaps you bought a different variety of the squash? Sorry I can't help more than that. I did not weigh my kabocha when I made this dish so I'm not sure the measurements. Sorry!
Jen

Please post the measurement of the Kabocha. I made this recipe with a medium size kabocha and ended up using a 2lb. bag of flour, resulting with the dough still too sticky. Also, it ended tasting flavorless.

Hi,
I must be honest: I did not know was kabocha was until I read your post. It's very interesting...I've never tried it, just zucca...is it so different as variety? Anyway, I'll try and let you know.

Thanks for posting.

Hi megsansouci,
Thanks for the kind comments! I'm so glad you enjoyed the kabocha squash gnocchi. Have fun trying more things!

OMG! I just tried your recipe for the gnocci and it was fantastic! I fried the squash, but I'm seeing all kinds of recipes on line for this squash now. I just found it in our local market a few days ago and wondered what it was. I now have seen recipes for desserts, soups, canning, gnocci's and many more. I wonder why I never saw this squash before? The label on my squash says it came from Mexico. Most squash I have seen online are squat, green and look like a small pumpkin or gourd. My Kabocha was mostly shades of reddish orange with some green and was slightly pointed at the bottom, but it definitely said it was a Kabocha Squash on the label. Anyway, the taste is fantastic. Thanks for this fabulous recipe...I'm off hunting recipes now.

Genius! I've got to have it!

Kabocha is one of my all-time favorite foods! I love using it in gyoza, or mac 'n cheese. The gnocchi look wonderful too!

I can't believe I've never heard of kabocha until a few months ago. And the fact that they last for quite some time is very appealing to me (I always tend to over purchase on the produce and they go to waste).
