🇮🇹 Italian

Prep 12 min Cook 5 min Serves 2 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Garlic3 cloves, minced
  • Potato400 g, boiled
  • Tomato Sauce2 tbsp
  • Olive Oil2 tbsp
  • Parmesan Cheese60 g
  • All-Purpose Flour200 g
  • Spring Onions3, sliced
  • Pumpkin500 g, cubed
  • Noodles250 g

Optional extras

  • Fresh Basilhandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the Pumpkin in aggressively salted water, stirring early, and set a timer for one minute less than the packet says.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, heat a generous glug of olive oil and crisp Noodles until the edges catch colour.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic with a splash of the pasta water so it steams and softens into the pan.

  4. 4

    Transfer the drained Pumpkin into the pan and toss with real intent — tongs, high heat, thirty seconds of tossing.

  5. 5

    Watch the sauce: when it clings rather than pools, it's ready; more pasta water is the fix for anything too tight.

  6. 6

    Finish off the heat with cheese tossed through (never piled on top), and serve at once.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the dried oregano in the oil before adding anything wet.
