Penne with pumpkin, pioppini mushrooms, and gorgonzola is a very tasty dish that’s truly delicious which I was supposed to make at an event, but they didn’t follow the established preliminaries, so I, who hate improvising when I work (and cooking at an event is WORK and also very demanding for me), decided to forgo it… too bad, it would have been wonderful to do this show cooking! Moving on…
This first course with short dry pasta like penne, pennette, sedanini, or others was cooked risotto-style directly in the sauce, but if you don’t have time to monitor the cooking minute by minute, you can normally sauce your dish with this comforting, enveloping, and very Italian sauce!!! The pumpkin is a low-calorie vegetable suitable for many recipes, both sweet and savory. The variety used for gnocchi is the Mantovana, while the one for the famous Pumpkin pie is the Delica…
There are several varieties of PUMPKIN such as:
1) Spaghetti Pumpkin recommended for low-calorie diets
2) Hokkaido Pumpkin for making risottos, soups, and creams
3) Butternut Violina Pumpkin for recipes from appetizers to desserts
4) Mini Kawaii Lady Pumpkin very versatile with 26 kcal per 100 grams of pulp
5) Iron Cup Pumpkin perfect for risottos and roasts
6) Turban Pumpkin excellent in soups and purees
7) Musk Pumpkin very flavorful and great for risottos.

#ADV
- Wok
Preparation
Remove the first layer of the leek and using only the white part, prepare a sauté that you will let stew for a few minutes in extra virgin olive oil.
Add the pumpkin cut into cubes, mixing the sauce and continuing to cook for a few minutes.
Add the pioppini mushrooms, well cleaned, washed, and cut into noticeable pieces.
Let it cook for 4/5 minutes, mixing well and seasoning with salt and pepper.
Personally, I cooked the pasta risotto-style, so I added the dry short pasta (for me, penne), adding water as needed and bringing the pasta to the right cooking point.
Shortly before serving, add flakes of gorgonzola, blending and tossing the penne with pumpkin, pioppini mushrooms, and gorgonzola.
Serve this very tasty and flavorful first course with the pioppini mushrooms… enjoy your meal!
