How to make pumpkin spatzle
First of all, cook the pumpkin in the oven without aromas. Then blend the pulp until it becomes a cream.
Finally, combine the flour in a bowl with a hole in the centre, add the beaten eggs, salt and nutmeg. Then blend the raw pumpkin pulp and mix well together with a hand whisk until you obtain a lump-free batter:
Finally, bring a pan full of water and salt to the boil.
In the meantime, heat a knob of butter with sage and gorgonzola, melting everything in a very large pan.
In a separate pan, brown the speck to make it slightly crunchy.
Finally, place the tool over the pot with the boiling water, pour a ladle of pumpkin batter into the space provided and slide the tool back and forth which will make the freshly formed pumpkin spatzle fall directly into the pot.
As soon as they come into contact with the boiling water they will cook in a few moments, rising to the surface, at which time you will have to drain them with a slotted spoon directly into the sauce pan
Then sauté them over a low heat, adding a few tablespoons of boiling cooking water if necessary to make the dish creamier! Finally add the speck with the heat off and stirring.
