Pumpkin and sausage meat pasta
We offer you a new topping idea for your pasta! And believe us, you too will fall for this slightly sweet combination thanks to the addition of pumpkin. It will also be an opportunity to cook this squash in another way than velouté or simply roasted ;-)
Ingredients
Preparation
Crumble the sausage meat and place it in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
If you have sausages in the fridge instead of sausage meat, use them! Simply remove the transparent part around the sausage and collect the meat.
Brown the sausage meat with the olive oil over high heat for 3-4 minutes while stirring.
Add the white wine and continue stirring until the alcohol evaporates.
Reserve this preparation in a bowl.
Prepare the pumpkin: remove the skin and cut the flesh into small pieces to ensure faster cooking.
After finely cutting the onion, brown it with a drizzle of olive oil in the same pan as the sausage meat.
Add the rosemary sprigs and pumpkin pieces then cook a little while mixing.
Remove the rosemary sprigs and add half a glass of water to the pan. Cook covered for 18 minutes over medium heat while stirring from time to time.
Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package.
Mash the pumpkin using a wooden spoon (this will almost give you the texture of a puree). Add the sausage meat you had reserved and pepper. Stir.
Add a spoonful of pasta cooking water, mix and simmer over low heat until the pasta has finished cooking.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the pan directly with the filling.
Add the grated parmesan and mix.
All you have to do is serve your pasta on a plate, sprinkle more parmesan on top and enjoy it!
