Creamy pumpkin, porcini mushroom, and burrata gnocchi

Creamy pumpkin, porcini, and burrata gnocchi is a creamy first course featuring gnocchi wrapped in pumpkin and served with pan-fried porcini mushrooms. Burrata adds freshness and creaminess, while pumpkin seeds add a crunchy touch.

Gnocchi with pumpkin cream, mushrooms and ricotta

Gnocchi with creamed pumpkin, mushrooms, and ricotta are a fall first course with a delicate flavor and a comforting texture. Creamed pumpkin soup pairs with mushrooms and ricotta, creating a sauce rich in flavors and textures.

Smart tip: you can also use mushrooms for a more delicate flavor or fresh porcini mushrooms for a more fragrant touch.

Pumpkin gnocchi with taleggio sauce

Pumpkin gnocchi with taleggio sauce combine the sweetness of pumpkin with the bold flavor of taleggio, creating a hearty first course. The creamy sauce envelops the gnocchi and enhances the contrast between the two main flavors.

Smart tip: use red-skinned potatoes and Mantua squash to make gnocchi; the result will be perfect!
