  • For the vinaigrette: Mix the garlic, yellow lemon juice, parsley, chili flakes, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then whisk with a balloon whisk and add the olive oil in a thin stream while continuing to mix, until the ingredients are perfectly combined.
  • Marinate the chicken and pumpkins with the vinaigrette, in separate containers, for 10 minutes and set aside.
  • Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat, then add the pumpkin and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat until both are perfectly cooked. Set aside.
  • Heat enough water in a pot until it boils, then add salt, wait for it to boil again, and add La Moderna® Rotini pasta and cook for 10 minutes.
  • For the sauce: melt the butter in a skillet over low heat and warm the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper there. Wait for the cheese to melt and then add the pasta you cooked; mix for a couple of minutes until the sauce is well integrated with La Moderna® Rotini pasta, then add the chicken and pumpkins. Mix until combined and remove from heat.
