Pasta and Pumpkin Neapolitan Style

Method

1. Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a pan. Sauté the garlic and a little chili pepper. Once the garlic is golden, remove it.
2. Add the pumpkin cubes and a few whole parsley leaves. Add a little hot vegetable broth and salt. Cook on low flame.
3. Break the spaghetti into pieces as per tradition.
4. Check if the pumpkin is cooked: it should mash easily with a spoon. If not, add a little more broth.
5. Once the pumpkin is soft, add more broth and bring to a boil.
6. Add the broken spaghetti and cook, gradually adding broth if needed until the consistency is not too liquid.
7. Remove from heat and add a drizzle of raw extra virgin olive oil.
8. Serve immediately.
