Pasta With Pumpkin Black Olive And Rosemary Sauce Recipes

PASTA WITH PUMPKIN AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over high heat - about a minute, or until the oil starts to shimmer. Stir in the diced onion and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking for a minute or two, until the onions start to soften. Add the minced garlic and give a good stir.
• Cover pot, reduce heat to low and let the onion and garlic cook undisturbed for another 15 minutes. When you come back, the vegetables will have produced a great deal of liquid. This is good.
• Stir in the smoked paprika, finely chopped rosemary and finally, the pumpkin purée. Give everything a serious whisk for a minute or two, until the onion seems to melt into the pumpkin and the whole thing comes together, smelling sexy and smoky. The sauce will be thick, like fluffy mashed potatoes and a deep, burnished orange. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Prepare pasta according to package directions. Stick around and give a stir. Don't wander off. Al dente means to the teeth, not to to the gums. Cooking time is brief.
• Drain pasta, reserving 1-1/2 cups of the starchy pasta cooking water. Swirl the pasta water into the sauce to make it silky and saucy. Stir to combine.
• Pour the sauce over the pasta. Give everything a nice toss to combine and heat through. Top with a drop of aged balsamic. Buon appetito.
