- Pumpkin 400g (weight without peel and seeds)
- 100g of flour of choice
- 1 bio egg of hen (optional)
- 10g of Parmesan

Pumpkin Dumpling Preparation

After removing the seeds and filaments by helping with a spoon and finally the peel, cut the pumpkin into pieces 1 centimeter high and put them on a pan lined with a sheet of baking paper.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper and bake at 160 ° C for 40 minutes (a help to see if the pumpkin is ready, it can be crushed with a fork: it must be tender and spappolarsi).
Crank out and let cool.
Crush the pumpkin with a fork (or with a mixer if you prefer) until you get a creamy mixture and put it in a bowl.
Add the flour, the egg, the grated parmesan and amalgamate.
On a well-floured wooden chopping board work a part of the mixture until you get a roll of a couple of centimeters in diameter. Cut with a knife of the pieces of two centimeters. Arrange them on a floured cloth making sure that they do not touch each other, otherwise they stick.
Warning: Try to use less flour as possible, otherwise the dumplings will become very hard. Work small portions of dough at a time.
Boil the dumplings in abundant salted water to boil, when they rise afloat they are ready!
Skip the dumplings in the pan that contains the seasoning chosen for a few minutes and serve warm. They are excellent with the classic tomato sauce, both butter and sage but also simply boiled and seasoned with a drizzle of EVO raw oil and a sprinkling of parmesan.
