Loading...| 500 g/1 lb 2 oz pumpkin, peeled, de-seeded and chopped 2 tablespoons olive oil | |
| 200 g/7 oz Parmesan cheese, freshly grated, plus extra to serve 2 eggs, lightly beaten | |
| 80-120 g/3-4 oz breadcrumbs 200 g/7 oz Fresh Pasta Dough | |
| 50 g/2 oz butter • 8 fresh sage leaves salt and pepper |
| 1. | Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Put the pumpkin in a roasting tin, drizzle with the oil, cover with foil and bake for about 1 hour. |
| 2. | Pass the pumpkin through a food mill into a bowl, add the Parmesan and eggs and season with salt and pepper. |
| 3. | Stir in enough breadcrumbs to make a fairly firm mixture. Roll out the pasta dough into a sheet and stamp out 7.5-cm/3-inch rounds with a pastry cutter. |
| 4. | Spoon a little of the pumpkin filling into the centre of each round, fold in half and crimp the edges. Cook the torteli in a large pan of salted, boiling water for 10 minutes. |
| 5. | Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan, add the sage leaves and cook for a few minutes. Drain the tortelli, place in a warm serving dish and sprinkle with the sage butter and Parmesan. |
