This recipe will do quite well to use up some of the crop share this week.
SERVES 2
INGREDIENTS
9 ounces whole wheat penne
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 cups pumpkin, cut into cubes
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut into halves
About 30 basil leaves, cut into strips
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat penne according to the instructions on the package. Set aside.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion for about one minute. Then add the pumpkin cubes and cook for six minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Then deglaze with white wine and vegetable broth and allow it to evaporate. This will take about 10 minutes.
Add the cherry tomatoes and simmer for two minutes. Then stir in the cooked penne and the basil leaves. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the pasta is heated through. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
NOTES
If you’re cooking for kids, just leave out the white wine in the sauce and substitute it with more vegetable broth.
