Pumpkin and carrot soup

Author: Guido Boschetti

Difficulty:

Beginner

Total time:

95 min

Servings:

1 Portions

Ingredients:

400 g Carrots
12 kg Pumpkin
60 g Shallot
80 g Sour cream
20 g Pumpkin seeds
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
40 g Extra virgin olive oil
1 l Water
Sage 2 sprigs
Thyme 2 sprigs
Rosemary 2 sprigs

PREPARATION

1

To create the pumpkin and carrot soup, you can start by cleaning the pumpkin. Using a knife, remove the skin, then divide it in half and with a spoon take the seeds inside. Cut the pumpkin first into slices and then into cubes, resulting in about 850 g. Pass the peeled carrots and cut them into thick slices about 1.5 cm.

2

Prepare the bunch of herbs by tying sage, thyme and rosemary with a piece of string. Cut the shallot into slices and transfer them into a pan where you have already poured the oil. Add the aromatic herbs and let everything brown over a low flame for about 10 minutes.

3

Then remove the aromatic sprig and add both the pumpkin and carrots. Adjust the salt and let it cook together and stir occasionally for 5 minutes. Pour in the water, cover with a lid and leave to cook for about 40 minutes. In the meantime, toast the pumpkin seeds too: transfer them to an oven dish and bake at 190° until they are well browned, then set aside for about 15 minutes.

4

As soon as both pumpkin and carrot are cooked, turn off the heat and blend everything with an immersion mixer until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream. Serve the soup and garnish the dish with a spoonful of sour cream, pumpkin seeds and a pinch of black pepper. Taste your velvety carrot and pumpkin soup while it is still hot.

Ravioli with ricotta and artichokes on Granetta di capra's fondue

Author: Guido Boschetti

Difficulty:

Intermediate

Total time:

150 min

Servings:

1 Portions

Ingredients:

For the fresh pasta
300 g of Tipico IT’s 00 Flour
3 Eggs
For the filling
8 Artichokes
4 tbsp of Tipico IT’s Extra virgin olive oil
60 g of Tipico IT's Granetta di Capra
1 Onion
1/2 Glass of wine
Black pepper
Fine salt
1 Clove of garlic
For seasoning
150 g of Butter
100 g of Tipico IT's Granetta di Capra
50 g of Fresh cream
Pumpkin seeds
Sage

PREPARATION

1

First of all, start with the preparation of the fresh pasta: pour some 00 flour in a bowl after sifting it. Then add the slightly beaten eggs and start kneading with a fork. When the eggs are absorbed, continue with your hands and transfer the dough on a work surface. Continue kneading it until you obtain a smooth and elastic dough, which will be covered in cling film. Let it rest for about 30 minutes in a fresh place.v

2

While the fresh egg pasta is resting, start preparing the filling: clean the artichokes, peel and cut them. Chop finely an onion and let it brown on a low flame for about 15 minutes with four spoons of extra virgin olive oil and a clove of garlic. When the onion is golden, add the artichokes and let them cook. Halfway through the cooking time, add the white wine, add some salt and pepper.

3

Once cooked, transfer the artichokes in a mixer and blend them coarsely. Subsequently, transfer the obtained cream in a bowl and add the ricotta and the grated Granetta di Capra. Mix everything well.v

4

At this point, start rolling out the dough until you obtain a sheet of pasta dough enough thin. Cut it in strips of 10 cm wide. Put the filling in the centre and close the sheets of pasta dough on themselves. Now start cutting your ravioli and little by little put them on a floured cloth.

5

Once you have finished, boil them in abundant salted water; while the ravioli are being cooked, melt some butter in a pan and add the sage leaves.

6

Meanwhile, prepare the Granetta di Capra fondue, on which you will place your ravioli. In a pan, pour some fresh cream and heat it on a medium flame. Add a part of the grated Granetta di Capra and mix well. Add little by little the rest of the Granetta, mixing well and letting it thickened.

7

When the ravioli are cooked, drain them and sauté them in the aromatised butter.v

8

Now, place your ravioli on the previously prepared fondue and pour on them the melted butter with some sage leaves, the pumpkin seeds and a handful of Granetta di Capra.
