Steps:
- Boil pasta in a large pot of salted water according to packet directions, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the water for later use.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat and add butter. As soon as it starts to fry and sizzle, add onion and cook until transparent. Add the garlic, and fry until garlic becomes fragrant (about a minute). Add the chicken and stir it through the onion and garlic. Cook until chicken changes in colour. Add the pumpkin and milk, continuously stirring until it combines and begins to simmer and thicken. Add the broccoli and parmesan cheese, stock powder and salt. Mix well and cook until chicken has cooked through and broccoli is cooked to your liking. Pour the reserved pasta water into the pan in 1/4 cup increments, stirring between each addition, until you gain the consistency you like. (If you need too, add a little extra milk for a thinner sauce).
- Gently stir the pasta through the sauce and serve with extra parmesan cheese!

PUMPKIN ALFREDO SAUCE
This recipe was a nice way to use up some extra pumpkin we had available. Served it to one person who really enjoys pumpkin (myself) and one who doesn't, and both came away really liking it! Has enough flavor that the pumpkin makes itself known, but not so much that it overpowers the alfredo flavor or texture. Recipe makes enough to toss with one cooked 12 oz. box of pasta.

PUMPKIN ALFREDO
This is quick and really different. The sauce can be thinned out with some chicken or vegetable broth if it seems too thick. Sometimes I also add onions in with the garlic.

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Use a sugar pumpkin or a pie pumpkin for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using a carving pumpkin, as it is too stringy and watery.
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to blend into a smooth sauce.
- Use a high-quality Alfredo sauce: A good Alfredo sauce will make all the difference in this dish. Look for a sauce that is creamy, flavorful, and has a rich Parmesan cheese flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if they are overcooked. Cook them until they are just cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side.
- Add some vegetables: If you want to add some more vegetables to this dish, try adding some roasted broccoli, zucchini, or mushrooms.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin Alfredo with Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy Alfredo sauce is rich and flavorful, and the roasted pumpkin adds a touch of sweetness and nuttiness. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the whole dish comes together in just 30 minutes.
