  • 600 g pumpkin

  • 400 ml béchamel sauce

  • 250 g smoked provola cheese

  • 1 leek

  • Grated cheese to taste

  • Olive oil

  • Salt and pepper

PREPARATION

Step 1
Cube the pumpkin.
Step 2
In a pan, sauté the leek with a drizzle of oil, then add the pumpkin. Cook over medium heat for 20–25 minutes, adding a little water or vegetable broth as needed. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Prepare the béchamel sauce and set aside.
Step 4
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for half the suggested cooking time.

Once the pumpkin is soft, mash it with a fork into a creamy consistency. Add the béchamel and combine well.

Dice the provola. Drain the pasta and mix it with the pumpkin cream. In a baking dish, layer the pasta and provola alternately. Top with grated cheese.
Step 7
Bake in a static oven at 200°C (390°F) for 25–30 minutes until a golden crust forms. Enjoy!
