INGREDIENTS

320 g of KAMUT® Brand Wheat penne

250 g of pumpkin

200 g of champignon mushrooms

1 clove of garlic

extra virgin olive oil

salt and pepper

150 g of ground beef

1 egg

Bread crumbs

40 g of Parmesan cheese

parsley to taste

½ clove of garlic

Salt and pepper

RECIPE

Start by cutting the pulp of the pumpkin into cubes of about one cm, then wash and cut the champignon mushrooms or even the porcini mushrooms into slices for a more intense taste.

In a pan, sauté a clove of garlic with a drizzle of oil, add the pumpkin and cook over medium heat until cooked and browned on the outside.

For the meatballs: mix together the minced meat with egg, Parmesan cheese, and just enough breadcrumbs to have a compact but soft consistency. Season with garlic and chopped parsley, salt and pepper. Work with your hands until you get a homogeneous mixture and then take a small amount of dough at a time to form the meatballs. They should be about one cm in diameter.

When the pumpkin has softened, add the meatballs and toss them together quickly, then add the mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook the pasta and when it is ready, sauté it together with the sauce.

Serve immediately, topping it off with chopped parsley.
