When I got my hands on this gorgeous red kabocha pumpkin from Big Blue Sky Farm , I knew EXACTLY what to make! 🎃 Tortelli di Zucca!!

I made a batch for us, and I’ll be making more this week for Wolf Ranch Farmers Market on Saturday!

My take on Mantua’s classic pumpkin filled pasta, shaped into little pumpkins, one by one.

Red kabocha brings rich orange color, velvety texture, and beautiful sweetness to the filling. To complement it, I dug into my pantry for a few special ingredients:
🇮🇹 Amaretti del Chiostro cookies for that lovely bittersweet almond flavor.
🇮🇹 Vergani mostarda di Cremona Candied mixed fruit in a sweet, mustard-spiced syrup for a little heat to balance the pumpkin’s sweetness.
🇮🇹 Parmesan and freshly grated nutmeg for a savory, aromatic finish.
Sweet, savory, a little spicy and definitely not your average pumpkin ravioli.

I’ll also have Ravioli di Zucca e Ricotta, filled with the same gorgeous pumpkin, creamy ricotta, and a touch of nutmeg. Just a simpler combination that lets the pumpkin shine for a little autumn magic. 🍂

A little love, Italian tradition and a whole lot of handwork.

See you at the market on Saturday!

First, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s sent thoughts and prayers for my hand issues. Visiting with the surgeon was such a great help, and thankfully, we’ve found a way to keep my hands in the dough for a while longer! Your kindness and support mean so much to me. ❤️

While I’ve been on “light duty” (lol 😂), I’ve still been working behind the scenes on ways to make our ingredients even better! There’s some exciting news coming soon, and I can’t wait to share it with y’all. 👀✨

Now, let’s talk pasta! Recently, my daughter brought home peri-peri garlic bread pizza, and that got me thinking… I don’t make bread, but I DO make pasta! 🍝

So here’s my peri-peri pasta inspired by the pizza, made my way! Who needs the bread when you’ve got the pasta? 😉 Limited quantities available at tomorrow’s Wolf Ranch Farmers Market!

I’m also restocked with plenty of sourdough pasta, potato & cheese pierogi and three cheese ravioli 🧀 both plain and Longhorn shaped just in time for the Texas & OU rivalry! 🤘🏈

Come 8:00-1:00 and stock up for game day. Hook ’em! 🧡
