Preparation method
Preparing and Cooking the Pumpkin
Peel 400 g butternut squash and remove the seeds, then cut the flesh into small, uniform cubes to cook quickly. Peel and gently crush 3 fresh garlic cloves.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil with 1 tsp sea salt for the pasta. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and sauté the garlic for 1 minute until fragrant, without letting it burn.
Add the butternut squash cubes to the skillet, sauté for 2-3 minutes, then pour in half a cup of warm water. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, until the squash is very tender.
Chef's tip
Reserving the pasta cooking water is the secret to Italian sauces: the starch helps the pumpkin cream and Parmesan transform into a silky sauce that clings impeccably to the rigatoni.
For a perfect contrast of textures, toast the walnuts over medium heat for 2 minutes before serving to release their natural oils and aromas.
