Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

In about 15 minutes, we’ve prepared a completely different kind of pasta. Especially in autumn, there’s plenty of fresh pumpkin, which goes really well with tortellini. Otherwise, just open a good jar of pickled pumpkin; that’s also very good. Cook the tortellini. Dice the shallot and thinly slice the garlic. Sauté the shallot in a little oil, then add the diced pumpkin flesh. Simmer for a while to give the pumpkin a pleasant bite. Deglaze with white wine and bring to a boil. Add the garlic, season with salt and pepper. Add a little cream, and reduce the sauce. Finally, add about a tablespoon of crème fraîche and color with a pinch of saffron. Season to taste. Mix the sauce with the tortellini and serve fresh.
