This easy and delicious recipe by Neapolitan chef Inghemarck Guida highlights the unique taste of Sorrento walnuts.

Of course, if you can't get Sorrento walnuts, this dish will work with 'regular' walnuts--just make sure they are still fresh and flavorful.

The original recipe calls for 'zucca' which is Italian for pumpkin. But Italian pumpkins are quite different in flavor and texture from American ones, so it is best to use another winter squash—butternut squash is the most common—or even baby yams, which are very close in flavor to the Italian zucca. Small, sweet pie pumpkins also work quite well.

  1. Peel and core a butternut squash, pie pumpkin or other winter squash. Cut the pulp into small cubes.
  2. Sauté the garlic and a hot red pepper in the olive oil. When the garlic is just starting to brown, remove it and the pepper, then add the squash. Sauté for a few minutes, then add a bit of water (say, a shot glassful) and cover. Simmer gently until the squash is completely tender. Purée in a blender or food processor.
  3. Meanwhile, start the pasta to cook in well-salted, boiling water.
  4. Then take a skillet large enough to hold the pasta and the other ingredients and sauté the walnuts in the butter for a few minutes to bring out their flavor.
  5. While the pasta is very al dente, transfer it, along with the squash purée, to the skillet with the walnuts. Mix well and let the mixture simmer together for a minute or two to let the flavors meld.
  6. At the last, add the cheese, stir once, and serve, garnished with the sage leaves cut into thin strips.
