Pasta with pumpkin<\/strong> and caramelized figs is an absolute poem! This pasta is really very quick<\/strong> and easy to<\/strong> prepare, but still has that extra something. I really never thought that pumpkin and figs complement each other so well. The pasta is refined with feta<\/strong> and a good portion of the Levantine spice blend Za’atar<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pumpkin meets fig<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The special thing for me in this delicious and quickly made pasta<\/strong> is the combination of nutty pumpkin<\/strong> and fruity figs<\/strong>. This combination came about when I still had some pumpkin<\/a> left over from the oven pumpkin<\/a>. That’s when I got the idea for this delicious fall dish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I just cut pumpkin into small pieces and saut\u00e9ed in a pan with some garlic and olive oil. For the special spice I added some of the hot chili paste Harissa<\/a>. You can also leave it out or chop fresh chili to add some spice to your pasta with pumpkin and figs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as the pumpkin is tender, the fresh figs are added to the pan. Due to their own fructose<\/strong>, they caramelize when saut\u00e9ed and give the dish a really very tasty sweetness. This goes perfectly with the taste of the pumpkin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, you can cook the pasta already now, because you still need some collected pasta water to thicken the sauce and make it nice and creamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the pumpkin is cooking and the figs are caramelizing, add a portion of the oriental spice blend Za’atar. The mixture of wild thyme<\/strong> and sesame seeds<\/strong> goes sensationally well with the pasta with pumpkin and figs. If you don’t have Za’atar at hand, you can of course also use dried thyme and some toasted sesame seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, add the pasta water<\/strong> and mix the pasta directly with the sauce. Personally, I always let the pasta sit in the sauce for a few more minutes so that everything can combine well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have the pasta with pumpkin and figs on the plate, it’s time to crumble the feta on top. If you like, you can also garnish the pasta with a little more za’atar and freshly chopped parsley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish you a lot of fun trying and of course a good appetite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
