Total time:

Servings:

1 Portions

Ingredients:

500 ml of Whole milk
40 g of Tipico IT’s 00 Flour
Black pepper
60 g of Butter
Salt
170 g of Tipico IT's gorgonzola piccante
1 kg of Squash pulp
Tipico IT’s Extra virgin olive oil
Fresh oregano
2 Cloves of garlic
Fine salt
Parsley
250 g of Tipico IT's pasta sfoglia for lasagne
White wine
80 g of Gran Capra
Breadcrumbs
400 g of Tipico IT's salsiccia
250 g of Tipico IT’s Mozzarella

PREPARATION

1

Begin the preparation of lasagne with squash, gorgonzola and salsiccia by starting with the gorgonzola béchamel sauce: sift the flour in order to avoid the formation of lumps.

2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk with a pinch of salt and grind of pepper.

3

In a non-stick saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour a little at a time, stirring vigorously with a whisk.

4

Toast the flour over medium heat until it begins to darken and bubble. At this point you can also add the hot milk, always continuing to stir thouroughly and bring everything to boil. After about two minutes from boiling, your béchamel will have thickened.

5

Now, turn off the heat and add the chopped gorgonzola. Let it slowly melt with the heat, stirring constantly with a whisk.

6

As soon as the gorgonzola is completely melted and well blended, transfer the béchamel sauce to a glass bowl and let it cool by covering with plastic wrap.

7

Now, deal with the pumpkin: remove the skin, cut it into slices and then into cubes.

8

In a non-stick pan, brown two cloves of garlic in a little oil. As soon as they start to brown, add the diced pumpkin and season with a pinch of salt. Let it cook, over a gentle flame, covering it with a lid for about 10 minutes, turning it from time to time.

9

Halfway through cooking, add a few leaves of fresh oregano and some chopped parsley. Once ready, transfer it to a bowl and let it cool.

10

Now, deal with the sausage: remove its casing and shred with a knife.

11

In the same pan where you cooked the pumpkin, add a little oil and let it heat up. Then add the sausage, brown it and break it up with a spoon. When the sausage begins to brown, turn up the heat and add a splash of white wine. Let it evaporate and continue cooking until browned. Turn off the heat and set aside.

12

In the meantime, proceed by cutting the mozzarella into small pieces.

13

At this point, you have everything you need to compose your lasagne with squash: cover the bottom of an oven dish with some gorgonzola béchamel sauce. Add the first layer of egg puff pastry for lasagne adding a few spoonsful of diced pumpkin, a little bit of sausage and a little bit of mozzarella. Also add a grind of pepper and a generous sprinkling of Gran Capra.

14

Complete by covering the entire surface with a few spoonsful of Gorgonzola béchamel sauce.

15

Continue in this way for other 3-4 layers.

16

Gently press down on each layer to ensure that the topping and béchamel sauce adhere evenly.

17

Finish by covering the last layer with the squash cubes and add some mozzarella flakes. Cover with the remaining béchamel sauce, a generous sprinkling of Gran Capra and finally some breacrumbs. Glaze the surface with a little oil and bake the lasagne with squash in a preheated oven at 180° C for about 40 minutes.

Gnocchi with squash cream, porcini mushrooms and burratina

Author: Guido Boschetti

Difficulty:

Intermediate

Total time:

80 min

Servings:

1 Portions

Ingredients:

1 kg of Red potatoes
1 Medium egg
300 g of 00 Flour
Remilled durum wheat semolina
Fine salt
500 g of Squash pulp
15 g of Dried porcini mushrooms
1/2 White onion
150 g of Burratina

PREPARATION

1

To prepare the gnocchi begin by boiling the potatoes: in a large pot place the potatoes and cover with plenty of cold water. From the moment the water comes to a boil, count about 30-40 minutes, depending on their size. Test them with a fork to see if they are ready, then drain them. Mash the potatoes while they are still hot on the flour that you have sifted on the pastry board and that you have made a fountain. Then add the lightly beaten egg together with a pinch of salt.

2

Knead everything with your hands until you get a soft but compact dough. Remember that if you knead the gnocchi too much, they will become hard when cooked, so limit yourself to kneading as long as necessary. Take a part of the dough and roll it out with the tips of your fingers to obtain 2 centimetres thick loaves; to do this, flour the pastry board with semolina from time to time. In the meantime, cover the remaining dough with a cloth to prevent it from drying out.

3

Cut the strands into chunks and, pressing lightly with your thumb, drag them over the gnocchi scratcher to obtain the classic shape. As you prepare the potato dumplings, place them on a tray with a lightly floured cloth, well-spaced out.

4

In the meantime, soak the dried mushrooms in a saucepan with half a glass of water. Clean the pumpkin and cut it into cubes. Pour 3 tablespoons of oil into a high-sided frying pan and as soon as it starts to heat up, add the thinly sliced onion.

5

Drain the soaked porcini mushrooms and save the cooking water. When the onion starts to brown, add the diced pumpkin, sauté for a few minutes, add salt and ½ cup of the porcini cooking water. Put the lid on and cook over a low heat.

6

After about 20 minutes, the pumpkin should be cooked. Add the softened and chopped porcini mushrooms and continue to cook for a few minutes to allow the flavours to meld. Finally, add salt to taste.

7

Bring the water for the gnocchi to the boil, throw them in and cook them for a few minutes, as soon as they rise to the surface, they are ready. As soon as they rise to the surface, they are ready. Gradually drain them with the aid of a skimmer and place them in the pan with the sauce. Stir-fry for about a minute and then serve, sprinkling the burratina cut into strips on top.
