VenetoTry it in the kitchen
Use its flesh for gnocchi. Serve pumpkin gnocchi with butter and sage, or roast wedges and let the floury texture become the center of a vegetable plate.
A recognizable rind
Look for the Marina di Chioggia variety name and its bumpy rind. If regional provenance matters to you, check the growing origin separately.
