25 minutes
Pasta with pumpkin puree in creamy sauce is a harmonious combination of tender Italian pasta and velvety pumpkin sauce that fills the dish with a soft sweet taste and light nutty notes. The inspiration for this recipe may come from the autumn colors of Tuscany, where pumpkin is a frequent guest at the table. The creamy consistency is created by cream and sour cream, while nutmeg and white pepper add spiciness. The composition is completed by salty-spicy pecorino romano cheese and fresh parsley, giving the dish sophistication. The pasta is perfect for a cozy dinner, complementing a cool evening with warm shades of flavor and aroma. It is easy to prepare but impresses with its depth and richness. This dish will be an excellent choice for both everyday menus and festive tables.
