In the States, in October the Pumpkin season starts. Pumpkin bread, Pumpkin cupcakes, Pumpkin pies, Pumpkin beer, Pumpkin latte…
Ironically, when I am home I miss this.
But when I am here I miss the way we cook zucca (‘pumpkin’) in Italy.
Pasta alla zucca
Risotto alla zucca
Tortelli alla zucca
Crema di zucca
Gnocchi di zucca

All the above images look incredibly edible!
Definitely! Thanks for your comment 🙂
Thanks for your lovely and inspirational writing! I saw perfect orange wedges of zucca in the market yesterday and understand how you might miss it. I just nominated you for the “Shine On” award. Entirely up to you if you wish to accept, it is just a sign of appreciation. See http://krumkaker.wordpress.com/2013/10/06/shine-on/ (e saluti da Roma.)
Hey! Wow thanks for the visit, your comment, and the nomination! Saluti dal MidWest 🙂
