In Mantua, winter squash is used to stuff fresh ravioli. The squash is baked, then the flesh is scraped out and mixed with Amaretti biscuits and Mostardo di Cremona, a spicy hone and fruit mixture. This recipe is similar but simpler. Use with short tubular pasta such as penne or macaroni. Serve with a piquant or watercress salad.
