Servings: 2 people
Calories: 461kcal
Cost: 80
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pasta (recommended: Urban Platter Casarecce)
- 100 g Yellow Pumpkin (cut into cubes )
- 5 g Curry Leaves
- 10 cloves Garlic (finely sliced )
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ cup Pumpkin Seeds
Instructions
- In a medium pot, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Add the pumpkin and cook until it is completely soft.
- Once the pumpkin is fully cooked, drain the water and mash the pumpkin using a fork. Set aside to cool down slightly.
- Cook the pasta in boiling salted water but drain it about 2 minutes before it is completely cooked. This will allow us to cook it further in the coming steps. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta cooking water.
- In a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Follow by adding the curry leaves and cook until they splatter.
- Add the pumpkin seeds and cook until they are toasted and turn slightly brown.
- Now, lower the heat and add the sliced garlic. Thinly sliced garlic has a tendency to burn, so you must keep stirring and work fairly quickly.
- Once the garlic has turned beautifully golden brown, add the the reserved pasta water.
- Add the pumpkin puree and mix well to combine and make a smooth sauce. Now, add the cooked pasta to the pumpkin sauce and mix well to combine the pasta completely. Taste and season with salt.
- Transfer your aromatic Pumpkin Aglio e Olio to a plate and enjoy it with a glass of white wine!
