What can you do with a pumpkin?

After alot of  work with the editing of the new video it's finally ready. It's cut in two parts since it's more than 10 minutes hope that won't be any problem for you. This time I choose to do 3 recipes with pumpkin as an experiment to see the feedback, I'm guessing not many know how to use this particular vegetable! In Italy it's very well used from autumn to spring and there are many traditional dishes for example tortelloni di zucca, risotto con la zucca, gnocchi di zucca and so on... There are different varieties of pumpkin but the one that I recommend to use is the one you can see in the video, as you'll see it's not the typical halloween pumpkin... I insert a picture as you see, and it's the greenish ones that I use.

These dishes that I make this time are absolutly delicious and very simple, so...just follow the links for the videos and enjoy!
