Steps
We start by washing and peeling the pumpkin and the potato, then cut them into pieces.
We also clean the Savoy cabbage leaves, removing the tougher central part, and roughly chop them.Place all the vegetables in a pot and cover with about 2 cups of vegetable broth.
Cover and let cook for about 25 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.At this point, blend everything with an immersion blender until you obtain a smooth and velvety cream.
In a separate saucepan, bring some vegetable broth (or water) to a boil and cook the pastina. When it is almost ready, drain it slightly al dente and add it to the vegetable purée.
Mix well, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and, if desired, a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese to make it even creamier.
Our pastina with Savoy cabbage and pumpkin purée is ready. Serve hot, with a drizzle of raw olive oil and maybe some croutons for contrast.
