The North End, Boston’s “Little Italy” is famous for its Italian food and feasts. It is Boston’s oldest neighborhood, a one-square-mile waterfront community not far from the popular Faneuil Hall. Hanover Street is the North End’s “Main Street” and also home to one of my favorite Italian restaurants, Bricco. At 241 Hanover Street sits a sophisticated sport for modern takes on Italian fare, wines and cocktails, as well as late-night brick-oven pizza. This dish is inspired by one of my favorites at the restaurant, with a twist. Pasta with Creamy Pumpkin Sauce and Toasted Hazelnuts is a rich, earthy dish featuring canned pumpkin puree, but cooked similar to stovetop mac and cheese. It’s simple enough to make for a weeknight meal, as well as elegant enough for a weekend dinner party. Now that’s what I’m talking about!
I really can’t believe it is November. Doesn’t it seem like just the other day we were getting ready for Halloween? I know November can mean a lot of things to a lot of people, but lets just say this… November is foodie heaven. It’s the time to test all of those recipes you’ll be using for the holidays and it also means that we have entered the season of the year when it’s more than okay to embrace mashups of flavors, textures, and colors in recipes like this pasta. It’s pumpkin season, and I’m embracing it full heartedly.
