Method

Step 1

Cut pumpkin into large pieces, removing seeds, inner strands and skin. Keep seeds aside to toast.

Step 2

Cut the pumpkin in about 1 cm size cubes and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a dry frying pan and add the pumpkin seeds to toast. Once done, set aside. In the same pan add some oil and then the chopped shallots and garlic, stir and cook gently.

Step 4

Add the pumpkin to the pan with rosemary sprigs, nutmeg, salt and pepper and allow to become fragrant. Add a few ladles of pasta water and continue to simmer for 6-8 minutes (you can add a lid to help it cook).

Step 5

Bring a pan of water to a boil, add salt and cook the Barilla Farfalle pasta according to package directions.

Step 6

Transfer 3/4 of pumpkin mix to a food processor, leaving some of the mixture whole to serve. Add the ricotta and some more pasta water if needed. Blend until smooth.

Step 7

Return the blended pumpkin mixture to the pan with gentle heat on to let it warm.

Step 8

Add the pasta to the blended pumpkin mix and serve with remaining unblended pumpkin mix, extra ricotta if desired, and top with toasted pumpkin seeds.

Farfalle

Bowtie pasta, also known as Farfalle, hails from the Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna regions of Northern Italy. Its unique shape makes it perfect for catching chunky sauces and vegetables, adding a touch of elegance to dishes like pasta salads and casseroles.
