This is pretty much the best sandwich with Stracciatella cheese I’ve ever made!

Need I say more?
I am just so happy that my grocery store is always filled up with fresh pumpkin. I’m a huge fan of fresh pumpkin and today it really does the trick.
That mildly sweet flavor and thick stringy flesh makes this a very filling sandwich and the sliced smoked tuna adds an extra layer of savoury.

What a great way to begin the Summer season!

Here's what you will need for the 4-serving recipe:

4 buns
600 g roasted pumpkin (see here how to prepare it)
