The combination of quark with eggs and flour is an excellent idea for a quick meal. As pumpkins are in season, you can make delicious lazy dumplings with this addition. They are soft, slightly sweet, and so tasty that no dumpling will be left on the plate.
Pumpkin dumplings with butter and Parmesan
Kids love them, adults adore them. They can be served both in a sweet version with cream and sugar, or savoury. Mushroom sauce, a gentle tomato sauce, or one of the simplest and most delightful combinations - butter and Parmesan - work well.
They are perfect for a simple and quick meal or a warm supper. They are soft, delicate, and simply delicious. You can make the pumpkin purée yourself or use ready-made from a jar for a quicker option. This recipe is excellent for busy days.
