PASTA WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PUMPKIN SAUCE
This a great way to use pumpkin in your cooking rather than your baking. The flavor of the pumpkin doesn't come out very strong and if you didn't know what was in it, you probably wouldn't even realize it was pumpkin. But it makes a great creamy pasta sauce with a different type of flavor.

Steps:
- In a large skillet cook the onion, the bell pepper, and the garlic in the butter over moderate heat, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, stir in the pumpkin, the broth, the water, the cream, the nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste, and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. While the sauce is simmering, in a kettle of salted boiling water boil the penne until it is al dente, ladle out the reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water, and drain the penne well.
- Add the penne to the sauce, cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring and thinning the sauce as desired with some of the reserved cooking water, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the pasta is coated well, and stir in the parsley. Divide the pasta between 2 plates and serve it with the Parmesan.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, ripe pumpkin is essential for a smooth and flavorful sauce.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sausage. This will prevent it from browning properly.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread.
