Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Brush the inside of the pumpkin with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the flesh with a knife.

When the pumpkin is ready, scoop out the flesh and purée. Set aside.

Step 4

In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the Barilla Pappardelle pasta until al dente. Reserve some of the cooking water, drain and set aside.

Step 5

While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 6

Deglaze with white wine (or broth), reduce for 1 minute, then add the cream, pumpkin purée and parmesan. Let the sauce simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Stir the Barilla Pappardelle pasta into the sauce, adding a little pasta water as needed.

Step 8

Garnish with parsley and freshly ground pepper to serve.
