"As an Italian from Italy, I never had mac & cheese growing up, so I didn’t know what it was. It was only when I started traveling that I found out that the “mac” stands for macaroni (aka maccheroni for an Italian) and that this dish was simply a naughtier version of our homely “pasta al forno” (baked pasta). Here it is a more Italianised and seasonal take on this worldwide dish with the addition of pumpkin and Italian sausage and using my favorite Italian cheese, Grana Padano. Chef’s tips: This recipe works well even in smaller portions without the whole pumpkin but if you want to impress your guests, make sure you adjust the cooking time according to the size of your pumpkin. This is the time to use your chef’s instinct!"
