To prepare Farfalle with Pumpkin and Tropea Red Onions (a sweet variety of red onions from Calabria), start by cleaning the pumpkin. Remove the skin, scoop out the inner filaments and seeds, and cut it into small cubes. Steam cook for about 10 minutes.
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over low heat. Wash, clean and thinly slice the onions.
When the oil is hot, sauté the onions for about 5-6 minutes. Add the pumpkin cubes, season with salt and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
Cook the farfalle pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente.
Meanwhile, toast the pumpkin seeds in a non-stick pan without adding any seasoning, cooking them until crispy.
When the pasta is ready, add it to the pan with the pumpkin, stir to combine and sauté for a few minutes.
When all ingredients are cooked, turn off the heat, add the basil, toasted pumpkin seeds and stir to combine.
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese to taste and serve the Farfalle with Pumpkin and Tropea Red Onions piping hot! Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
