The combination of these elements gives the dish a velvety texture and a unique flavor. You can prepare the pesto in advance and store it for various preparations.
The choice of pasta is crucial for a successful dish. Long pasta, such as linguine or spaghetti, is ideal for capturing the pumpkin cream and walnut pieces. Their shape allows the sauce to adhere optimally, but I chose farfalle, which turned out to be really excellent and perfect.
