The summer stone fruits disappear and something rounder, denser, and deeply green takes their place. The <strong>Delica pumpkin<\/strong> has arrived and if you have never cooked with one, you are about to understand why Italian home cooks treat its arrival like a small annual celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Delica is not your standard Halloween pumpkin. It is smaller, flatter, and dark green on the outside with flesh that is deep orange, dry, dense, and extraordinarily sweet. It roasts differently, soups differently, and fills differently from any other squash variety. Here are <strong>five ways<\/strong> to make the most of it this autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Roasted with Sage, Garlic, and Olive Oil<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"558\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Roasted-pumkin-1024x558.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1011\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.8351855734954916;width:574px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Roasted-pumkin-1024x558.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Roasted-pumkin-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Roasted-pumkin-768x419.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Roasted-pumkin-1536x838.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Roasted-pumkin-2048x1117.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the simplest starting point and arguably the best. Cut the Delica into <strong>thick wedges<\/strong> \u2014 skin on, because it softens beautifully and is entirely edible. Toss with good <strong>olive oil<\/strong>, whole <strong>garlic cloves<\/strong>, and <strong>fresh sage leaves<\/strong>. Roast at high heat until the edges caramelise and the flesh is tender all the way through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Delica&#8217;s low moisture content means it roasts rather than steams. You get concentrated sweetness and <strong>slightly crisp edges<\/strong> rather than the watery softness you often get with other pumpkins. Serve it as a side, pile it onto polenta, or eat it straight from the tray. All three are valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Delica Pumpkin Risotto<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Delica-Pumpkin-Risotto.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1012\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.8333731200763905;width:568px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a northern Italian autumn classic and the Delica makes it better than any other variety. <strong>Saut\u00e9<\/strong> finely diced pumpkin in butter until soft, then set half aside and blend the rest into the cooking stock. The result is a <strong>risotto<\/strong> that is golden, deeply flavoured, and naturally sweet without needing cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finish with Parmesan, a knob of cold butter, and a few drops of aged balsamic. Additionally, toasted pumpkin seeds scattered on top add crunch and make the whole thing look genuinely beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Tortelli di Zucca \u2014 Stuffed Pasta the Mantua Way<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Delica-Pumpkin-Pasta-.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1013\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.8333731200763905;width:568px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of <strong>Lombardy&#8217;s<\/strong> greatest dishes and the Delica is the right pumpkin for it. Roast the flesh, then mash it with crushed amaretti biscuits, Parmesan, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. The combination sounds unusual. It is extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fill fresh <strong>pasta squares<\/strong> with the mixture, fold into tortelli, and serve simply \u2014 brown butter, more Parmesan, and sage. Nothing else. The sweetness of the Delica against the bitter almond of the amaretti is one of those flavour combinations that Italian cuisine does better than anywhere else on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Creamy Delica Pumpkin Soup<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pumpkin-Soup-1024x559.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1014\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.8318737860769414;width:567px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pumpkin-Soup-1024x559.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pumpkin-Soup-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pumpkin-Soup-768x419.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pumpkin-Soup-1536x838.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cut the pumpkin in half and roast it cut-side down until completely tender. Scoop out the flesh and blend it with warm vegetable stock, a saut\u00e9ed white onion, and a generous pinch of nutmeg. The Delica&#8217;s density means you need less stock than you think \u2014 consequently, the <strong>soup<\/strong> thickens naturally without cream or flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finish with a swirl of <strong>extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> and toasted sourdough on the side. It is the kind of soup that genuinely makes you glad the temperature has dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Delica Pumpkin and Sausage Tray Bake<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Sausgae-Delica-Pumpkin-Dish-.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1015\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.8333731200763905;width:570px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This one requires almost no effort and produces something that feels considerably more impressive than the work involved. Cut the Delica into chunks and arrange in a <strong>roasting tray <\/strong>with Italian sausage, red onion, rosemary, and a splash of white wine. Roast everything together until the sausage is <strong>golden<\/strong> and the pumpkin has absorbed all the cooking juices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the Delica holds its shape through long roasting without collapsing \u2014 something watery pumpkin varieties simply cannot do. It is a <strong>one-tray autumn dinner<\/strong> that needs nothing alongside it except good bread and a glass of something red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start With the Right Pumpkin<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All five of these recipes depend on one thing, using a Delica that is genuinely good. At\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/\">BellaVita Foods<\/a>, we source Delica pumpkins directly from <strong>Italian growers<\/strong> and bring them to the <strong>US market<\/strong> during their natural autumn harvest window. Because a pumpkin this specific deserves to be cooked properly and that starts with sourcing it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Explore BellaVita&#8217;s Italian autumn produce at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bellavitafoods.com\/\">bellavitafoods.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a moment every September when the market stalls in northern Italy shift.
