Today’s recipe is pretty dreamy, if I may be so bold to say so myself.

A roast pumpkin filled pasta paired with a classic brown butter and sage sauce… but with the lil twist of mosto cotto in addition.

Read on for the usual fun stuff - aka my ramblings about this dish, a step by step guide for making these straight up stunnin’ casoncelli, my wine suggestion and Sunday playlist.

Enjoy!

Casoncelli di zucca with brown butter, sage and mosto cotto

OK OK - this recipe title is a bit of a mouthful - so let’s break it down.

Casoncelli di zucca - we’re roasting pumpkin and garlic and blending with ricotta to create a beautiful filling for this stuffed pasta.

Brown butter and sage from my lil giardino, a classic pairing and a go-to choice for a reason - because it’s simply heavenly.

And finally, mosto cotto. This is probably one you’ve not heard of before.
