Pumpkin tortelli is a classic Italian dish that is typically served during the autumn and winter months. This and hearty dish is perfect for a chilly evening or a special occasion. It’s easy to make, and the combination of sweet and savory cheese makes it an irresistible treat. In this article, we’ll share a recipe for making pumpkin tortelli from scratch.

Ingredients:

For the pasta dough

– 2 cups of all-purpose flour
– 3 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon of olive oil
– A pinch of salt

For the filling

– 2 cups of roasted pumpkin puree
– 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 cup of Ricotta cheese
– 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
– Salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce

– 1/2 stick of unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh sage leaves
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. To make the pasta dough, mix the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Create a well in the center and add in the eggs and the olive oil. Using a fork, beat the eggs and slowly incorporate the flour from the edges until the mixture becomes cohesive. Turn it out onto your work surface and knead it for 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth. Wrap it with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. While the dough rests, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, grated Parmesan cheese, Ricotta cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

3. After the dough has rested, cut it into four pieces. Flatten the pieces and run each one through a pasta maker until you reach the second-to-last thickness. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles of the same size from each sheet.

4. Place a teaspoon of the pumpkin filling in the center of each circle. Fold the circle in half and seal the edges by pressing firmly with your fingers. Then, fold the two corners together and press them against each other to form the classic tortelli shape.

5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently place the tortelli into the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the top. Remove them from the water using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate.

6. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat until it begins to brown. Add in the sage leaves and cook for an additional minute. Remove the sage leaves and pour the butter sauce over the tortelli. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top and serve while hot.

Conclusion:

With this recipe, you’ll be able to prepare delicious pumpkin tortelli that will leave you feeling satisfied and warm. The sweet and savory filling combined with the buttery sauce and grated cheese creates a mouth-watering and irresistible dish.
