Serves: 4-6
- 1 roll of puff pastry or shortcrust pastry if we make it at home (see below)
- 600 gr of Butternut squash (with the skin)
- 250 gr of goat / sheep ricotta
- 200 gr of soft sheep cheese cut into cubes
- 1 sprig of fresh rosemary (or a tablespoon dried leaves)
- 1 sprig of fresh sage with about 10 leaves
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- For the shortcrust pastry (optional)
- 200 gr of flour
- 80 gr of extra virgin olive oil
- 70 gr of cold water
- A pinch of sea salt
- Wash the pumpkin well (we are going to use the skin)
- Cut the pumpkin into 1 cm thick half moons and season with olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary.
- Place them on parchment paper in a pan and bake at 180 C for 25-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, you can make the shortcrust pastry (optional)
- Check that the pumpkin is roasted by pricking with a fork, remove from the oven and reserve.
- In a 22-24 cm diameter mold, place the parchment paper, impregnate with a little olive oil and spread the puff pastry or shortcrust.
- Spread the ricotta evenly on the bottom and place the pumpkin pieces as in the photo.
- Fill in the gaps between the pumpkin with the cubes of soft cheese and distribute the sage leaves on the surface.
- Fold excess dough inward creating an even edge
- Bake at 200 C for 25-30 min. depending on the mold you use.
- For the shortcrust pastry
- In a food processor, mix the flour with the oil and salt until smooth (2-3 min). Add the water and process until the dough is homogeneous (2-3 min).
- Lightly work the dough on a flat, smooth surface until you get a compact ball of dough.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 min. before extending it.
- Spread a parchment paper, place the ball of dough in the center and roll it out until you have a disk about 30 cm in diameter.
- Place the paper with the dough spread over the mold. You are now ready to fill.
