That looks so tempting, Farfallina, it has instantly gone onto my short list of things to cook this week. What sort of cheese is caciocavallo? Is it something like a firm English cheddar or a softer cheese (perhaps like edam or gruyere)? ... or, perhaps, not like any of them???
I am amazed at how you constantly come up with delicious recipes - almost every day I am waiting for the latest 'Farfallina' recipe to tempt my taste buds.

Wow Cuilidh !! Thanks a lot for your compliments :-*
I am happy you enjoy the recipes I share
I like trying new recipes and post the ones that result well
I really enjoyed Pumpkin and leek sauce
I liked it with pappardelle as in the recipe but surely you can try it with other kinds of pasta as well
As for cheese, caciocavallo is an Italian cheese which I like a lot
It is not a soft cheese but not as hard as parmesan
You can replace it with provola or gruyere as you said. Both would work great
