Ingredients:
- 14 oz of full-fat cottage cheese
- 12 oz of all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 10 oz of pumpkin purée
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon of salt
Additions:
- Melted butter
- Grated Parmesan
- Parsley
Instructions:
Step 1: Grind the cottage cheese and place it in a bowl. Add the all-purpose flour, pumpkin purée, eggs, and salt, then mix.
Step 2: Transfer the dough onto a counter and knead it. Dust with flour, form a long roll, and cut it into smaller dumplings.
Step 3: In a pot, bring salted water to a boil and drop in the pumpkin dumplings. Cook for about 3 minutes from the moment they float to the surface. Don't add too many at once, as they may stick together.
