Parmesan baskets with pumpkin cream

Here’s a quick and delicious recipe ideal as an appetizer for the winter season.

75 g of Parmesan cheese, 5 g of flour, 150 g of pumpkin, 25 ml of vegetable broth, 1 shallot, salt and pepper to taste, EVO oil to taste.

Peel the pumpkin and remove the seeds, then dice it. Brown the finely chopped shallot in extra virgin olive oil. Add the diced pumpkin.
