Pasta con zucca, salvia, e mozzarella
I found this great recipe book in my local bargain basement bookshop, the thing I really like about it is that the recipes are regional and authentically Italian: not just the standard dishes found in every Italian restaurant! The measurements used are mine, as the recipe book uses ounces….
Ursula Ferrigno’s Trattoria: A passion for Italian Food
I have been contemplating using ricotta rather than mozzarella & butter, but my friends say it was perfect as is, so don’t meddle with it!
Serves 4
Olive oil
~ 600g pumpkin
1 bag of mozzarella in brine (220g I think?), drained & diced
30-40g butter (i.e. a lump a little bigger than the 25g marking on your pack)
2 garlic cloves, peeled & crushed
12 fresh sage leaves, plus extra to serve
juice & zest of 1 lemon
400g pasta (conchiglie or orichette, as per below)
grated parmesan
Put the mozzarella, butter, garlic, sage, lemon zest & juice, salt & pepper into a food processor & blend to a coarse paste. Make into a roll in cling flim & wrap with alfoil & chill.
Chop the pumpkin into small pieces (I leave the skin on, but it’s up to you!) season with salt & pepper, coat in olive oil & roast until tender & golden-brown – I use the vegetable roasting function on my combination microwave oven which is very quick, easy & tastes just as good as pure oven roasting.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, cook the pasta according to the manufacturer’s instructions, or if you’ve made the pasta yourself until it rises to the top – usually 3 mins. Drain well.
Add the pumpkin to the drained pasta and slice in the mozzarella roll (crumbly texture), toss until the cheese has melted and it’s well mixed and divide the mix between 4 bowls, topped with parmesan and the reserved sage.

In these days of austerity along with relative anxiety about getting debt, many individuals balk contrary to the idea of utilizing a credit card in order to make purchase of merchandise and also pay for a vacation, preferring, instead to rely on this tried and also trusted technique of making payment – cash. However, in case you have the cash there to make the purchase in full, then, paradoxically, this is the best time to be able to use the cards for several motives.
Thanks for your short article. I would also like to say that the health insurance brokerage also works well with the benefit of the particular coordinators of your group insurance. The health insurance agent is given a long list of benefits wanted by individuals or a group coordinator. Exactly what a broker does is search for individuals and also coordinators that best go with those needs. Then he shows his recommendations and if the two of you agree, the broker formulates binding agreement between the two parties.
