EVA'S PASTA ALLA MONTOVANA CON RICOTTA RECIPE
For this recipe, you will need:
- Penne, penne lisce, rigatoni or fusilli pasta (to serve)
- 2 cups cubed butternut squash
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Olive oil
- Nutmeg
- Amaretti cookies (optional):
- Salt
- Fresh black pepper
In a saucepan, bring 3-4 tbsp olive oil up to medium temp. Add the diced onion and sautèe for about 3 minutes, until the onion becomes slightly transparent and tender. Add the cubed squash and a splash of warm water. Salt and pepper to taste, then partially cover and cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the squash has softened. If necessary, add more water as it cooks if the moisture has completely evaporated before the squash is ready. Turn off the heat.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Salt liberally (two small handfuls is a good start) and add pasta. Cook according to directions provided.
Meanwhile, on a large plate or platter, combine ricotta cheese with a generous grating of Parmigiano cheese and a sprinkle of ground nutmeg. When the pasta is nearly done, add about 1 oz. of the pasta water into the ricotta mixture and stir all together.
Using a slotted spoon, ladle the cooked pasta into the squash saucepan and stir for a minute over medium heat. Transfer the pasta onto the ricotta platter and stir all together. Top with some crumbled Amaretti cookies (optional).
Buon appetito!
