Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds pumpkin, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
2 pinches ground nutmeg
ΒΌ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine cubed pumpkin with olive oil in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Spread out on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pumpkin is very soft and has browned slightly, about 45 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Reserve at least 1 cup of cooking water and drain pasta.
  • Combine roasted pumpkin, nutmeg, and 1/2 cup of reserved cooking water in a blender; blend until smooth. Add more water if mixture is too thick. Mix in Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Serve with the cooked penne.
