Creamy Pumpkin Pasta
A delicious recipe for pumpkin that's not a dessert! I usually make my own pumpkin puree in the blender with a little water. This dish is mild and warming; my kids like it because it looks like mac and cheese!!
Steps
In a large skillet , saute the onion and garlic in butter , over medium heat , until soft , not brown.
Whisk in the pumpkin , broth , creams and seasonings to taste.
Simmer 10 minutes , stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile , boil the pasta in salted water until al dente.
Drain pasta and stir into pumpkin , simmering 2-3 minutes more until thick.
Stir in parsley and garnish with romano , more parsley and pumpkin seeds if desired.
