Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Peel the pumpkin from seeds and skin, as well as the onion and garlic. Grate the pumpkin into long thin slices (ideally using a grater like for Korean carrots), and slice the onion into thin half-rings along with the green part of the leek.
Step 2
Place a pot on the stove to boil water for the capellini.
Step 3
Next, heat a frying pan over the fire, add the vegetable oil, and toss in the onion, leek, and grated pumpkin. Sauté for about five minutes.
Step 4
Then add the halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped garlic clove, and ½ teaspoon of grated nutmeg. Stir and add the olive oil and lemon juice.
Step 5
When the water in the pot boils, add a teaspoon of salt, a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and the capellini. Cook for three minutes.
Step 6
Season the vegetables in the pan to taste with salt and add sugar, stir, and let it cook for another minute. Remove from heat and cover with a lid.
Step 7
When the capellini is ready, drain the water. Serve the capellini on plates with the vegetable garnish.
