To make this whole wheat pasta you can use any type of pumpkin. The one you like the most or have at home. Remember that the more flavor it has, the better it will be. So try to choose one that is fresh and has good color. Usually the pumpkin I like to cook most is the cabutia, because it is very sweet and is fantastic in most meals!

There are several ways to cook pumpkin for such a recipe. Being able to be baked, steam or microwave. I think the best alternative to do it is in the oven, leaving it dry by losing its greater amount of water. Thus achieving all the flavor and nutrients concentrated in the pumpkin.

The way you cook squash is very important to make certain foods. Because if it is boiled for example, it will acquire a greater amount of water, it will lose nutrients and also some of its flavor. So it is always recommended to do it in a way that is convenient and does not ruin the recipe that you want to make with it.

Regarding the other ingredients, they are the same as in any egg pasta recipe. Very easy to find in any store and also accessible. So if you are from a large family, pasta is usually a great option. Because in addition to providing its nutrients, it provides great satiety.

You can prepare this dough on the table, in a bowl or in the food processing machine. In my opinion, preparing it in a food processor is a great advantage, you can puree it first and then mix the rest of the ingredients. Everything is done on the machine, it is simple, fast and very easy to do. If you don’t have one it doesn’t matter! You do it as usual and voila!

A very good idea is to take a day to prepare that pasta that is consumed in the month. Ideal for those who do not have so much time during the week and like to program their weekly menu.
