Ingredients

• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 6 leaves Fresh sage leaves
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth.

Step 2

Gradually add the flour, about half a cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly for 2-3 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, incorporate a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Divide the dough into four portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick, then cut into 1-inch pieces to form dumplings.

Step 5

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dumplings in batches, giving them a gentle stir to prevent sticking. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

Step 6

Using a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings and place them on a plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.

Step 7

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter turns golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Add the cooked dumplings to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the browned butter and sage.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer the dumplings to serving plates. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve warm.
