Discovering the mantuan pumpkin tortelli
The pumpkin tortelli were born in northern Italy around the Renaissance period, making them a very old recipe. The traditional pumpkin filling came after the introduction of the pumpkin, by the Americans, finding North-Italy as one of the best places to grow and spread.
This meal was born as a poor meal, but the Gonzaga Family made it into a fine noble dish by adding next to the pumpkin, the strong flavour of the Mantuan mustard and both the sweetness and the crunchiness of the amaretti cookies, both very pricey at the time.
Anciently, the meatless filling made the pumpkin tortelli often consumed for the religious fasting period. Nowadays, they are the protagonists of the holidays season, especially consumed around Christmas Eve.
