Pumpkin Candy Pasta

Method

1. Prepare the filling: mix together pumpkin, pre-cooked sausage, and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
2. Take pre-made pasta sheets about 10-12 cm wide.
3. Place a teaspoon of filling on the edge of the pasta sheet. Fold the pasta over once or twice to cover the filling.
4. Use a brush to apply a little water on the edge to seal. Cut the pasta to create a small pocket. Press with your finger to remove air, then pinch the sides to form a candy shape.
5. Repeat to make about 4-5 candies per person.
6. Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil for the pasta.
7. Gently heat whipping cream in a separate pan. Add sweet Gorgonzola and stir with a wooden spoon until melted. Do not add extra salt (the Gorgonzola is salty enough).
8. Lightly crush walnuts by tapping them with a rolling pin or similar tool.
9. Drop the pasta candies into the boiling water. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until they float to the surface. Remove with a spider strainer.
10. On a serving plate, spoon a generous layer of the cream sauce as a base.
11. Arrange the pasta candies on the sauce. Drizzle with more cream sauce.
12. Sprinkle with crushed walnuts as a final garnish.
13. Serve immediately with a spoon to capture both the candy and the sauce.
