HOMEMADE PUMPKIN PASTA



Homemade Pumpkin Pasta image

5-ingredient pumpkin pasta from scratch, no fancy techniques or pasta maker required!

Provided by Minimalist Baker

Categories     Entree

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 large egg
2 egg yolks
3 Tbsp pumpkin puree
Water

Steps:

  • Add flour and salt to a food processor and pulse. Then add in whole egg, egg yolks, and pumpkin puree. Pulse until well combined. Then drizzle in water until a dough forms (see picture).
  • Transfer to a very lightly floured surface, sprinkle top with a little flour, and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside for 30 minutes to rest.
  • After it's rested, bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously.
  • Cut the pasta into thirds and begin rolling out into a loose rectangle, sprinkling on only as much flour as it takes to keep it from sticking. More flour = a less flavorful, tender pasta. Also, the pasta will want to stick to the rolling pin - simply use one hand to hold it down while you use the other to roll.
  • Once the dough is nearly paper thin, cut it into any shape you want. You can even leave it in a solid sheet if you'd like. I used a pizza cutter to cut mine into fettuccini-sized strips.
  • Cover with plastic wrap until ready to cook. Add pasta to boiling water and stir just to make sure they don't stick together. It should only take 1-2 minutes to cook.
  • Drain and transfer to serving plate. Top with pesto and parmesan cheese, toss with your favorite tomato sauce, or try this easy pumpkin mac-n-cheese sauce.

CHEESY BAKED PUMPKIN PASTA WITH KALE



Cheesy Baked Pumpkin Pasta With Kale image

Arguably one of the coziest autumnal dishes you can make in under an hour, this cheesy pumpkin pasta doesn't rely on a roux. Instead, the sauce is made simply by blending canned pumpkin, cream and vegetable stock. And because the pasta bakes in a flash - just 10 to 15 minutes at 500 degrees - the most time-consuming part of the entire recipe is grating all that cheese.

Categories     dinner, weekday, casseroles, pastas, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Butter, for greasing the pan
1 pound medium pasta shells or tubes, like conchiglie rigate or penne
1 bunch kale (about 1 pound), ribs removed, chopped into bite-size pieces
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 heaping tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish
1 heaping tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
About 1 heaping cup coarsely grated Parmesan
About 1 heaping cup coarsely grated Gruyère
About 1 heaping cup coarsely grated Fontina or mozzarella
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for pasta water
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500 degrees and butter a shallow 2-quart/9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Cook the pasta in the boiling water for 4 minutes, adding the kale for the last minute. Drain the pasta and kale, rinse under cold water, then transfer to a large bowl along with the red-pepper flakes and the chopped herbs.
  • In a blender, add the pumpkin, garlic, salt, pepper, cream and vegetable broth. Blend until smooth. (If you don't want to use a blender, add the pumpkin, salt and pepper to a large bowl and use a spoon to break it up into a smooth mixture. Slowly whisk in the cream and vegetable broth until mixture is smooth, then grate in the garlic.) Add the sauce to the bowl with the pasta. Add in most of the grated cheese, reserving about 1/2 cup, and stir to coat.
  • Transfer the pasta into the baking dish, then dollop the ricotta over top and sprinkle remaining grated cheese. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until brown and bubbly. If you want the pasta really browned, broil it for 3 to 5 minutes, watching carefully. Allow the dish to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, and garnish with additional chopped herbs before serving.

PUMPKIN PASTA WITH WINTER HERBS AND PARMESAN CHEESE



Pumpkin Pasta with Winter Herbs and Parmesan Cheese image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
1 pound fusilli pasta
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 sprigs fresh sage
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
10 tablespoons (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 to 2 cloves garlic, sliced
One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous amount of salt. The pasta water should taste like sea water. Add the pasta to the pot and stir so it doesn't stick to the bottom as it cooks. Cook the pasta according to package instructions, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve some of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta in a colander and hold it there until the sauce is finished.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the sage sprigs and cook until crispy but not browned, about 1 minute. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Fry the rosemary sprigs in the same hot oil until crispy but not browned, about 1 minute. Transfer to the same plate. Sprinkle the fried herbs with salt. Remove the leaves from the stems (discard the stems). Discard the oil or save for another use.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and melt and cook 8 tablespoons (1 stick) of butter until it starts to turn light brown. Add the ginger and garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the pumpkin, sugar and some of the reserved pasta water. Stir in about 1/2 cup of Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and warm gently, tossing to coat the pasta with the sauce. Stir in some of the fried sage and rosemary. Top with the remaining Parmesan and fried herbs.

PUMPKIN PASTA



Pumpkin Pasta image

Pumpkin puree isn't just for pie. Think outside of the can and make this easy orange pasta in your food processor. It's the perfect way to use up leftover cans of pumpkin from the holidays. Add a sprinkle of Parmesan and some toasted pumpkin seeds for an upgrade.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree
1 stick (8 ounces) unsalted butter
6 fresh sage leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Dust a baking sheet with flour.
  • For the pasta: Put the flour and pumpkin puree in a food processor and pulse in short bursts until the mixture comes together and a dough forms, about 1 minute.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll and cut the pasta to desired thickness using a rolling pin or a pasta machine. Cut into the desired shape, transfer to the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with flour (this keeps the pieces from sticking together). Cover the pasta with plastic wrap for up to 4 hours if you are not cooking right away (see Cook's Note).
  • Cook the pasta until tender but not mushy (there shouldn't be a line of raw flour in the center), 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness and shape. Drain thoroughly.
  • For the sage butter: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leaves are crispy and the butter begins to brown slightly and has a nutty aroma. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss vigorously to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

CREAMY PUMPKIN PASTA



Creamy pumpkin pasta image

Make the most of pumpkins this autumn. When puréed and combined with mascarpone and parmesan, their flesh transforms into a silky, delicious pasta sauce

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
500g pumpkin or squash, peeled and cut into roughly 3cm cubes
50-100ml whole milk
2 tbsp tomato purée
2 tbsp mascarpone
350g short pasta (rigatoni or penne work well)
40g grated parmesan or vegetarian alternative, plus extra to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large, shallow, flameproof casserole or frying pan over a low-medium heat and fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 10-15 mins until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and fry for 1 min more. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pumpkin in a pan of boiling salted water for 10-15 mins until tender when pierced with a cutlery knife. Drain and tip into a blender (or use a hand blender). Blitz with 50ml milk and the onions until completely smooth, gradually adding more milk until the mixture is thick enough to just coat the back of a spoon (you may not need all the milk). Tip into a large frying pan with the tomato purée and mascarpone, and bring to a simmer over a low heat.
  • Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling, salted water following pack instructions. Drain, reserving a cupful of the cooking water. Toss the pasta with the pumpkin sauce, parmesan and 50-100ml of the reserved water to loosen. Season and scatter with extra parmesan.
