Pumpkin lovers, step forward!
It's October, what's better than a delicious plate of pumpkin gnocchi?
Ingredients for 4 people- 400g of Armando Pasta gnocchi
- 350 g of pumpkin (cleaned)
- 150 g of bacon
- 6 walnuts
- 1 onion
- Extra virgin olive oil to taste
- Salt to taste
- Chili pepper to taste
Start by cutting the pumpkin into slices: remove the peel and wash it thoroughly, then cut it into small, irregular pieces.
Cut the guanciale into strips and "sweat" it in a non-stick pan without added fat until crispy.
At this point, remove the guanciale from the pan and add the garlic, sautéing it over medium heat. Next, add the pumpkin and sauté everything for 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes, add enough water to cover the pumpkin. Cook for at least 15-18 minutes.
At this point, bring the water for the gnocchi to a boil. Once the pumpkin is ready, blend it with a hand blender. Add chili pepper, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and a ladle of water, if desired.
Now crush and chop the walnuts. As soon as the water boils, add salt and the Pasta Armando gnocchi, which you will cook for 1 minute.
Once ready, drain the gnocchi and continue cooking in the pan with the pumpkin cream and 2 ladles of pasta water.
Plate and add the previously chopped walnuts and the bacon.
Enjoy your meal!
