There is nothing better, in culinary terms, than to cook according to the seasons. A highlight of the autumn season is undoubtedly the pumpkin or squash, a brightly coloured vegetable with a particularly delicate flavour, which lends itself well to the preparation of different types of recipes, ranging from starters to desserts. Today's recipe is, in some ways, a classic: penne pasta with speck ham and squash. It includes a ‘sauce’ of cream and parmesan, which ties the sauce in with the pasta in a particularly enticing way to delight the whole family. Try it for yourself and let us know what you think!
