The pasta with pumpkin and crispy bread is a first course with a rich and tasty sauce. I cooked the pumpkin in a pan with garlic, oil, chili pepper, rosemary, and anchovies, meanwhile, I toasted some bread in a pan with oil and oregano. Once the pasta was cooked, I mixed it with the pumpkin and then added the crispy bread. Simple and easy to make, this dish will surprise everyone with its unmistakable taste.
