I pumpkin and gorgonzola maltagliati I am a first delicious and very tasty autumn, perfect to bring to the table for the lunch Sunday with family or alone cena friendly with friends. A typical pasta format from Emilia-Romagna, originally created to recover the “waste” of egg tagliatelle, very simple to prepare even for the least experienced pasta maker.
Just mix the flour 0 and the reground durum wheat semolina with the eggs and a pinch of salt, lower the dough obtained, after a short rest out of the fridge, in a thin layer then cut it into irregular diamonds to blanch in boiling water and Risotto in a pan with the pumpkin cream and the gorgonzola.
The result will be a delicious and very creamy dish, halfway between a plate of pasta and a soupwhich combines, for one of the most successful pairings, the salty and slightly spicy taste of cheese with the sweetness of pumpkin.
We have chosen the maltagliati, with a rough and porous consistency, and capable of retaining the sauce perfectly, but, if you prefer, you can replace it with mixed pasta and try your hand at the classic Neapolitan preparation.
For this recipe, we suggest you choose the Pumpkin Muscat de Provence: with a tasty and more watery pulp compared to other varieties, it is also well suited to be used to prepare velvety soups, soups and risottos.
For a pleasantly crunchy note, you can add 150 g of lardons or lardons during cooking bacon while, for a lighter version, you can add a handful of chopped hazelnuts or walnut kernels. If you don’t like the strong flavor of gorgonzola, you can replace it with taleggio or fontina, choose a milder and more delicate cheese, such as stracchino or robiola, or omit it altogether: for a dish that also suitable for guests vegans.
