In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the flour, about half a cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly for 2-3 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, incorporate a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into four portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick, then cut into 1-inch pieces to form dumplings.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dumplings in batches, giving them a gentle stir to prevent sticking. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings and place them on a plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter turns golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked dumplings to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the browned butter and sage.
Remove from heat and transfer the dumplings to serving plates. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve warm.
