Heat about half of the oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Brown the sausage. Remove the sausage, placing it on a paper towel to drain the oil. Add the remaining oil to the pan with the garlic and onion. Saute until onion is tender. Add the bay leaf, sage and wine to the pan. Let the wine reduce to about half (about 2 minutes). Add chicken broth and pumpkin, stirring until it comes to a bubble. Return the sausage to the pan and reduce heat. Stir in milk. Season with cinnamon and nutmeg, then salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 5-10 minutes until sauce thickens. Serve over pasta and grate Parmesiano over each serving. Serve with a good fresh spinach salad.
