Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The pumpkin and sage filling pairs well with the creamy pesto sauce, though some found the richness a little heavy by the end of the portion.
- Ease of prep: A genuinely quick weeknight dish with no chopping required, making it easy to pull together in around 15 minutes.
- Suggestions: Use a lighter hand with the mushrooms if you prefer the filled pasta to remain the star; they can easily overpower the more delicate flavours.
