Altograno Pizza Base with Pumpkin, Mozzarella, Speck, and Rosemary: Autumn on a Plate

Ingredients

1 Alimenta Altograno Pizza Base
250g of pumpkin (such as Mantovana or Delica type) cut into small cubes
150g of mozzarella fiordilatte (well-drained)
80g of Alto Adige speck (smoked, cured ham) cut into strips
1 sprig of fresh rosemary
Extra virgin olive oil (EVO) to taste
Salt to taste

Proceedings

1

Sauté the pumpkin cubes in a pan with a drizzle of oil for 10 minutes until they start to become tender.

2

Distribute the previously shredded mozzarella on the base.

3

Add the pumpkin cubes and speck strips over the mozzarella.

4

Bake in the oven at 200°C (392°F) for 5-6 minutes and enjoy it while it's still piping hot!

Step-by-step instructions

1.Preparing the pumpkin

Cut the pumpkin into regular cubes of about 1 cm and sauté them in a pan with a drizzle of oil for about 10 minutes until they start to become tender. This step is essential to slightly caramelize the exterior of the cubes while keeping the heart soft.

2. The base

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) to prepare it for baking the base: this ensures the fragrance of the Altograno Pizza Base!

3. The topping

Generously distribute the previously shredded mozzarella on the surface to create a flavorful bed, ready to welcome the other ingredients. Place the pumpkin cubes, the speck strips, and a few rosemary leaves on top of the cheese. At this point, bake your creation! During cooking, the mozzarella will melt, enveloping the flavors, while the heat released by the Altograno dough will enhance its aromas.

4. The alchemy of flavors

Your pizza is now ready to be enjoyed while it’s still piping hot! The savoriness of the speck balances well with the sweetness of the pumpkin, while the fresh rosemary provides that aromatic note that completes the dish.

Want to make it even more special?

If you prefer a creamier consistency, blend the pumpkin until you get a smooth cream to spread directly on the Altograno base: you will get a pleasant contrast between the softness of the topping and the fragrance of the base. The final touch? A nice grind of black pepper that should never be missing!
