Boil pumpkin cubes for approximately 30 minutes in salted boiling water.

Drain pumpkin cubes and purée. Let the purée cool down.

Add egg, flour, salt, freshly ground pepper and nutmeg to the pumpkin purée.

Mix well and knead the dough until it is supple and no longer sticky. Add flour if necessary.
