Nowadays, this type of pasta dish is becoming more and more popular, and it does not require any explanation, because there is nothing better than any kind of stuffed pasta. I also tried to tune this to as autumnal as possible, so I replaced the standard pomodoro sauce made out of tomatoes and used pumpkin instead. By the way, no matter how "cheesy" this recipe sounds, it's easy to make it vegan - all you have to do is replace the heavy cream with plant based milk and the mascarpone with vegan cheese cream. In conclusion, let’s prepare the last pumpkin dishes of the season, as autumn ones are slowly being replaced by winter recipes.
