Title: Review Pasta with Pumpkin & Speck Pge 98 The Best of our Recipe Communities
Post by: judydawn on September 07, 2015, 02:23:44 am

This is so simple to make with only a handful of ingredients which we would normally have on hand, except maybe for the speck but bacon could be substituted.

I made half the recipe which would only be 2 small serves for me.  You could make it go further by using it as a side with a piece of meat though.

I used tasty cheese instead of Fontina, used bow pasta instead of shells and cooked the speck in a frying pan before adding it at the end.  The thought of adding fatty speck to the dish with 2 minutes to go didn't appeal to me at all and frying it had to increase the flavour.  Each time I had a piece of it in the pasta it gave me an amazing hit of flavour and for that reason I would add more speck next time.

Well worth making.
