PUMPKIN DUMPLINGS
Steps:
- Mix the egg and pumpkin puree in a bowl. With a wooden spoon beat in the flour, a little at a time, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add nutmeg and beat several times to incorporate.
- Bring a large, deep pot of salted water to a boil. Take a wooden cutting board or any flat platter and place several tablespoons of the dough on top. Use a large chef's knife to spread the mixture over the board so that it is about 1/8 inch thick. Hold the board over the pot of water and, using the knife, slice off strips about 1/4 inch thick and about 3 inches long. (The strips will look rough at this point, but don't be discouraged: the dumplings will take shape as they hit the water.) Dip the knife in the boiling water from time to time to make the cutting easier. When the dumplings rise to the surface, let them cook another minute before removing with a slotted spoon and dropping in a bowl of ice water.
- When all the dumplings are cooked, drain in a colander. Before serving, saute them quickly in butter and season with salt, pepper and, if desired, Parmesan cheese.

PUMPKIN DUMPLINGS
Here is a nifty little side dish. It's inexpensive and really quite easy to prepare. Plus, they can be boiled in advance and sauteed just before serving. These little dumplings are kind of like spaetzle and would go nicely with anything grilled. You could also combine them with any number of sauces: tomato, cheese, etc. I hope you enjoy them!
