When I was on vacation in Italy a few years ago, I did a pasta making course and this Two Ingredient Fresh Pumpkin Pasta is a take on one of the recipes I learned there. You only need two ingredients to make this wonderful pasta: flour and pumpkin puree which makes it perfect for fall and it’s vegan too if you are catering for a friend who doesn’t eat meat!
Start by making a well in a large pile of flour. Add pumpkin puree and mix together using your hands. You may need to add more flour if it’s too sticky. Cut the dough in half and cover one half with a towel to prevent it from drying out while you work on the other. Shape the first half into a disc and roll it out using a floured rolling pin until you have a very thin sheet.
Cut the pasta into ¼-inch strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cook in salted boiling water and serve with your favorite sauce. I love to serve mine with this 5 Minute Vegan Sun-Dried Tomato Alfredo.
To make Two Ingredient Fresh Pumpkin Pasta, you will need the following ingredients:
Place 3 cups of flour in the center of a large board or a clean countertop. Make a well in the center.
Add the can of pumpkin puree to the center of the flour well.
Use your hands to mix the pumpkin puree and flour together until a stiff dough forms.
Cut the dough in two and cover one half with a towel to prevent it from drying out while you work on the other.
Shape the first dough half into a disc. Use a floured rolling pin to roll the disc into a very thin sheet. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the pasta sheet into ¼-inch long strips and set aside on a chopping board. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta noodles to the water a few at a time. Cook for about two minutes until the noodles start to float. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain. Repeat until all pasta is cooked.
Serve this pasta with your favorite pasta sauce.
