 PUMPKIN LUNE WITH BUTTER AND SAGE Makes 35-40 lunes Serves 4 Traditional to Mantova, these lune (little moons) often have crushed amaretti cookies inside the filling. We like to grate an oversized cookie over the top in addition to the cheese. 1 small pumpkin, or butternut, or acorn squash (about 1 pound) 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil ˝ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving ˝ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste ˝ recipe basic pasta dough 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter 8 fresh sage leaves 1 large amaretti cookie INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 350 °F Cut the squash in half, remove the seeds, drizzle with the olive oil, and place on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-35, or until the squash is very soft. Remove from the oven, let cool, the scoop the flesh from the skin. In a large bowl, combine the cooled squash, cheese, nutmeg, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Roll out the pasta dough to the thinnest setting on a pasta machine. Using a biscuit cutter or water glass, cut out 2-inch circles. Pipe or carefully spoon a rounded tablespoon of filling onto the center of half of the rounds and cover the filling with a second pasta round. Press the edges together firmly to seal. |
