Using a spoon, dip it in the boiling water and drop spoonfuls of the dough into the water.

Cook the knuckles until they float to the surface, about 5 minutes.

Strain the knuckles and let them sit for a minute without rinsing them with water.

Add 2 beaten eggs to the skillet and wait for them to settle slightly.

Add the cooked knuckles to the skillet with the eggs and toss gently.

Sprinkle chopped parsley on top before serving.
