  3. For the pumpkin spätzle: mix the flour, salt and eggs together. Add the pumpkin puree (well squeezed and dry) and whisk in a mixer until bubbles start to form.
  4. Pass through a spätzle sieve into boiling salted water and cook until the spätzle float to the surface. Remove with a draining spoon and place in cold water to cool.
