Recept: Umak od pečene hokaido tikve za tjesteninu

Sastojci:
- pola buće (mi koristimo hokaido, može i butternut)
- 1 luk
- 4 češnja češnjaka
- 4 jušne žlice kokosovog mlijeka
- muškatni oraščić
- 2 žlice maslinovog ulja
- 250 grama tjestenine
- par listića timijana ili majčine dušice
- par kapi limunovog soka
- prehrambeni kvasac za posipanje tjestenine
Priprema:
- Priprema povrća za pečenje
Tepsiju obložite papirom za pečenje i u nju stavite pola buće (prerezanu na pola, uklonjene koštice, s korom), jedan luk prerezan na 4 dijela i 4 češnja češnjaka u kori. - Začinjavanje i pečenje
Sve pokapajte s 2 žlice maslinovog ulja, dodajte 3 prstohvata papra i žličicu soli (ako je sol već uvedena u prehranu vašeg djeteta). Stavite u pećnicu zagrijanu na 200°C i pecite 30-45 minuta, dok se rubovi buće lagano ne zažare. - Blendiranje umaka
Izvadite iz pećnice, žlicom odvojite unutrašnjost buće od kore te ubacite u blender. Dodajte pečeni luk i sadržaj češnjaka (koji istisnete iz kore). Dodajte 4 žlice kokosovog mlijeka i sve dobro izblendajte dok ne dobijete glatki, kremasti umak. - Finaliziranje umaka
Umak prebacite u zagrijanu tavu i dodajte 4 žlice vode u kojoj se kuhala tjestenina. Dodajte par kapi limunovog soka, par listića majčine dušice i naribajte malo muškatnog oraščića. - Spajanje s tjesteninom
Umiješajte skuhanu tjesteninu u umak i lagano promiješajte dok se sve lijepo poveže. - Posluživanje
Prije posluživanja pospite s malo prehrambenog kvasca koji okusom podsjeća na parmezan.
Kako maksimalno iskoristiti pečenu tikvu?
Ko što sam već napomenula kad radimo ovaj recept, odmah pečemo cijelu buću – pola koristimo za umak, a od druge polovice radimo juhu. To štedi vrijeme i energiju, a imate dva ukusna i zdrava jela gotova istovremeno! Kliknite ovdje za recept za juhu.

Recipe: Roasted Hokkaido Pumpkin Sauce for Pasta
Ingredients:
- Half a pumpkin (we use Hokkaido, but butternut works too)
- 1 onion
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 4 tablespoons of coconut milk
- Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 250 grams of pasta
- A few thyme or oregano leaves
- A few drops of lemon juice
- Nutritional yeast for topping the pasta
Preparation:
- Preparing the veggies for roasting
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Add half of the pumpkin (cut in two, seeds removed, skin on), one onion cut into quarters, and 4 cloves of garlic in their skins. - Seasoning and roasting
Drizzle everything with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add 3 pinches of pepper and 1 teaspoon of salt (if your child’s diet includes salt). Roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 30–45 minutes, until the pumpkin edges are lightly caramelized. - Blending the sauce
Remove from the oven, scoop out the soft pumpkin flesh with a spoon and place it in a blender. Add the roasted onion and the garlic (just squeeze it out of the skin). Add 4 tablespoons of coconut milk and blend until smooth and creamy. - Finalizing the sauce
Transfer the sauce to a warm pan and add 4 tablespoons of pasta cooking water. Add a few drops of lemon juice, a few thyme or oregano leaves, and grate in a bit of nutmeg. - Mixing with pasta
Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce and gently mix until everything is well coated. - Serving
Before serving, sprinkle with a bit of nutritional yeast – it gives a cheesy, parmesan-like flavor.
