If you’re a fan of Italian cuisine, you’ll love the delightful flavors of Pumpkin Tortelloni. This traditional dish combines the earthiness of pumpkin with the richness of fresh pasta, resulting in a truly mouthwatering experience. Making Pumpkin Tortelloni from scratch may seem intimidating at first, but with a bit of patience and these easy-to-follow steps, you’ll be able to impress your friends and family with this authentic Italian recipe.

What You’ll Need

  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Water for sealing

Step 1: Prepare the Pasta Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into it. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, grated Parmesan cheese, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your preference.

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough

Divide the rested dough into four equal portions. Take one portion and flatten it with your hands. Pass it through a pasta machine set to the widest setting. Fold the dough into thirds, rotate it 90 degrees, and pass it through the pasta machine again. Repeat this process three to four times until the dough is smooth and pliable.

Gradually reduce the width setting of the pasta machine and pass the dough through each setting twice, until you reach your desired thickness. Repeat this process with the remaining portions of dough.

Step 4: Fill and Shape the Tortelloni

Place teaspoons of the pumpkin filling on the rolled-out dough, leaving about 1-inch spaces between each portion of filling. Moisten the dough with water around the filling. Fold the dough over the filling, pressing gently to seal and form a half-moon shape.

Cut the pasta into individual tortelloni using a round cutter or a sharp knife. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 5: Cook and Serve

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the tortelloni into the boiling water and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked tortelloni to a serving plate. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and garnish with fresh sage leaves if desired.

Serve your homemade Pumpkin Tortelloni hot and enjoy the delectable flavors that will transport you straight to Italy.

Now that you know how to make Pumpkin Tortelloni, give this recipe a try in your own kitchen. It’s a fantastic option for an impressive dinner or a cozy meal on a chilly evening.
