The ingredients needed to make Pasta al Sugo di Zucca:
- Take 4 cup flour
- Get 1 cup pumpkin puree, for pasta
- Make ready 1/2 tsp salt, for pasta
- Prepare 1 tsp olive oil, extra virgin, for pasta
- Prepare 1/2 cup water, for pasta
- Make ready 3 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin, for pumpkin sauce
- Get 2 large onions, diced
- Take 3 clove garlic, minced
- Take 1 tbsp granulated garlic
- Make ready 1/2 tsp Italian red pepper flakes
- Get 1 1/2 tbsp salt, for pumpkin sauce
- Get 1 handful basil, minced
- Prepare 4 cup pumpkin puree, for pumpkin sauce
- Prepare 1 cup milk

Steps to make Pasta al Sugo di Zucca:
- First, the pasta: Mix the flour, puree, salt, and olive oil together until homogenous.
- Now, teaspoon by teaspoon, add the water, mixing after each teaspoon, until it starts to bind into a firm, dry dough. A wet and sticky dough is your enemy. Don't make your pasta dough your enemy; mix only as much water as you need. It's just shy of a half cup, probably. Really mix the dough aggressively to get the gluten and elasticity going.
- Now, you could roll your dough out by hand with a rolling pin until really thin, and then slice into fettucine. However, I recommend using a pasta machine, rolling to 7, and then using the fettucine attachment. Either way, hang it out to dry a bit. I like using a laundry rack.
- So, the sauce… heat the olive oil on low in a 3 quart saucepan, and then toss in the onions.
- Let the onions get a head start for a few minutes, and then add the garlic, pepper flakes, salt, and basil.
- When the onions have completely given up the ghost and are translucent, and not a moment sooner or later, add the puree and mix.
- Turn the heat to medium, and let's start loosening the sauce up. Add the milk, mix, and then add the water.
- Set a large vat on the stovetop and boil enough water to cook 5 cups worth of noodles.
- Simmer the sauce for about 10 or so minutes, and incorporate the cheese.
- Add salt to taste, simmer for another little while on low while you cook the pasta and until you are sure there isn't a single bit of unsoftened rind specks in your sauce (disregard that bit about rind specks if you bought your puree).
- Toss your noodles into the vat of boiling water and cook until softened, likely just a few minutes. Think more like you are poaching an egg than boiling a potato in terms of timing for the noodles.
- Drain the noodles in a colander and run under cool water to stop the cooking process. Set the colander of noodles in a bath of warm water. In this way, you can take the colander out to scoop the drained noodles without worrying about cold or stuck together noodles.
- So, to serve, put some pasta on a plate, and then ladle some sauce in the middle. Enjoy.
