Squash/pumpkin is a huge deal in malta, you can see them curing on the wall of farmers roofs for most of the year since as long as the skin is dry they're shelf stable for almost a year. We have a kinda odd dish called "Torta ta' Qarra u Ross" (Pie/tort with pumpkin and rice) where you basically fry onion, diced pumpkin and a bit of minced pork and minced beef mix it with rice and a lot of pepper (pepper is one of the main flavours here) and put it in a hot water or short crust pie dish (typically done in a big rectangular glass baking dish, but a lotta people love making em as hand pies nowadays). I call it odd because its ultra simple, and there are no strong stand out flavours in it, the goal is a delicate ballance between all of these more subtle flavours (hence why only a bit of the meats and nothing like pancetta or bacon). Its mostly carbs and deeply moorish, you just keep wanting more even though it fills you up super quick. Like most good pastries from malta traditionally its done with lard in the crust and olive oil for the frying, but nowadays people usually use butter for the crust. (we have a lotta influence from general italian cooking, scicilian cooking and tunisian arabic cooking here, so everything always feels slightly familiar to the more southern italian dishes you do <3)
Though my absolute favorite pumpkin/squash dish is just diced pumpkin mixed with parmegian, breadcrumbs, olive oil, salt and pepper and baked in the oven till the pumpkin is cooked through and the top starts to brown. One of the best side dishes / veggie plates I've ever had and so incredibly easy <3

Gah, I want to make all three of these for Thanksgiving!! It's Monday, I have everything… just need time! Thank you. I have your cookbook!!!
Awesome sounding recipes!
With squash (and other foods) adding Nutmeg to cinnamon provides complexity with a complimentary flavor.
So, we’re talking “winter” squash.
About two hours ago I watched another YouTuber (@thatpracticalmom) peel a butternut squash with a potato peeler before cutting it! They all look delish… thinking I’ll make the nusrat on Thursday! Thank you both for all the fun and delicious content!
I do not really understand what squash is and if I can find it in Cyprus, probably not, but once I cooked a Neapolitan pasta which is Pasta e zucca (gaguz) which is basically Pasta Mista, Orange pumpkin, chilli and parsley and salt, and I am still cooking it, it has become my staple
I make squash and zucchini parm often. I actually prefer it to eggplant 50% of the time lol. Nice work. I'd tear this up!
My uncle Natale ( Calabrian ) had a large property in Connecticut. He was the King of Butternut Squash.
Little drummer boys!
🤔 Why are you USAmericans are celebrating Thanksgiving only in late November so close to Christmas season when the rest of the world is doing it in October with harvest season???
What I would love is when you have a dish like this one, you could tell or, even better, show how it fits into an Italian meal. I guess this is a 'contorno' but I've never understood just how Italians deploy side dishes in a meal. Meant to be served on the same plate, and eaten on the same fork as the main dish? Or as a separate course on its own, or… ?
Excellent. I love winter squash (called pumpkin here in Australia).
Do you use the squash as different than zucchine? To us in NJ its often synonomous. Lots of Italians grow the cocuzzo/zucchine and we all call it squash someplaces. My late mother used the cocuzza to make parmigiana, squash and eggs (wthich I guess wasn't so much squash)…zucchine cake…. etc.
Do Italians eat beets often? It may be interesting to have a video about beets.
Sure, Helix to all of the Pasta Grammarians out there with means and access to it – but for anyone outside of that bracket (or included, tbh):
I"ve undergone many radical changes to my sleeping arrangements. TLDR: If you just force yourself to sleep on an extremely firm surface (like the relatively plush carpeting in American rental apartments) for between 7 to 14 days-ish, you will feel like you've unlocked a super-power. Now I feel it would take me LONGER to get used to sleeping on the expensive box-spring/mattress combo that we were all tricked into spending 3mo.'s salary on (or 8 month's?), I forget the exact false marketing "advice"… This led to a slew of internet mattress companies looking to "upend" the traditional model (but still cater to the sleeping habits requiring enough foam rubber to soundproof a recording studio, so they could make an extremely lucrative profit – though not as much as all of the mattress "dealerships" they were supplanting). Meanwhile, my back problems were worst when I was sleeping on a Cal.King double-pillowtop for 8 years in my 20's…
Save yourselves the hassle. Learn to live with, and even enjoy sleeping Eastern style, on futon bedding and the like.
Non digerisco bene le melanzane e la parmigiana è una delle cose che mi mancano di più! Devo assolutamente provare a fare la versione con la zucca!!
I laughed so hard at “dumb approved” that I started to choke. Thank you for that. It made my day.
Lovely ❤️
Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving
Another wonderful set of recipes! Thank you so much! How about naming them Cambuchitucci? It probably won't pass in Italian, but it sounds cute? I won't be hurt if you don't use it. 😉
OMG!!
I LOVE "Dumb Approved" … let's all make it the next thing! Bravo Eva!
