When you talk of Pumpkin tortelli you must be aware that it is really a delicate subject. Are they sweet? Too sweet? Spicy?Mostarda (preserve made from candied fruit in grape must or sugar with mustard )?Macaroons(Amaretti cookies)? You could go on for hours like that... The beauty of these dish is that each family has its own recipe which, it goes without saying, is much more better than all the others. The Tortelli produced at Trattoria Cognento are made according to the traditional recipes of Reggio Emilia. The ingredients are: pumpkin, good Parmigiano Reggiano, no Mostarda. Just a sprinkle of nutmeg. That is the balance of this tortello. We suggest you cook them simply with butter or in the 'vintage version' with a red sautéed mixture of finely chopped vegetables. They are excellent if you add to the sauce two drops of traditional balsamic vinegar.
