Pasta with Pumpkin

So this is a favourite in our house all year round great in winter as a quick hot dish, or in summer as a cold soup like dish. This is for 2 people so adjust quantities as you need them! Enjoy!
  • 200 g pumpkin
  • 150 grams of mixed pasta (in Italy you can buy this in packs, if you can't find it just save the little bits of pasta that you don't use, break up some spaghetti, some quills etc and use this.)
  • • 1 large onion
  • • 1 clove of garlic
  • • 1 vegetable stock cube
  • • salt and pepper
  • • extra virgin olive oil
  • • grated parmesan cheese
  • • parsley

  1. Heat up a large frying pan and put in a little oil, fry of the onions and garlic.
  2. Cut the flesh of the pumpkin into cubes and add to the pan.
  3. Add the stock cube and a glass of water.
  4. Allow to cook until the pumpkin becomes soft and creamy, if it drys add some of the water from the pasta.
  5. Cook the pasta and drain.
  6. Add to the pumpkin and sauté for a few minutes.
  7. Serve in a dish with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.

  2. Ciao Loredana! Hai pienamente ragione e per questo ho aggiunto una pagina al blog per le ricette irlandese in italiano, al momento è vuoto ma darmi il tempo qualche giorno e la farò diventare ricca di ricette dalla cucina della nonna, quella irlandese! Grazie di essere passata per qua e buon Lunedi!
