Here is how you make Creamy Pumpkin Penne:

Makes 6 1C servings1. Set Water to boil and add pasta when it's rolling.2. Meanwile in deep skillet add the olive oil and heat.3. When it's sassy- add diced onion.4. When the onion is translucent add the garlic and let it get cozy with the onion.5. Add pumpkin and stir. It will hiss at you. 6. When it's heated through add cubed cream cheese and stir until melted and blended in.7. Add Hot Sauce to taste8. Stir in spices and let it get familiar with the pumpkin.9. Add the grated Parmesan 10. Finally add the chicken broth. Add it a bit at a time to blend and add more. The texture will be creamy and thick. You want it to stay on the thick side to stick to the pasta.11. Once the pasta is done - reserve a bit of the pasta water to add to the sauce. I don't know why: Gramma did it so I do too.12. Let the whole thing come to a bubble.13. Back to the pasta...once done to al dente: drain and put back in the pasta pot or big serving dish.,14. Dump the sauce over top and mix in.You can add more Parm here or give it a pass. Sometimes I like to top this with crumbled bleu - not required but really gives it a bite.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SUNNIME.
