Pumpkin cubes are a delicious and decidedly simple and perfect recipe for the fall season. Use a variety of pumpkin with firm, dry and sweet pulp (we have chosen the Hokkaido one, but the Delica and the Butternut will be also fine), then cut it into cubes, enriched with gorgonzola cheese and grated parmesan cheese, for a full and strong result, and simply bake in the oven until everything is soft, stringy and golden on the surface.
A tasty and appetizing alternative to be served as a main course or single course, accompanied by a few slices of lightly toasted bread, but also as a rich side dish instead of the classic baked potatoes. A very quick and practical recipe that will solve any post-work dinner or last-minute invitation. So let’s find out how to prepare this dish in the best way.
