A dish for all the family to enjoy, creamy pumpkin pasta!

Step 1:

In a pan, heat the olive oil over a medium flame and fry the onions for around 10 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 2:

Add the garlic and fry for an extra minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 3:

Meanwhile, boil the chunks of pumpkin in a large saucepan of water with a pinch of salt for around 10 minutes until tender.

Step 4:

Drain the pumpkin and tip it into a blender. Add the onions, garlic and milk and blend until completely smooth.

Step 6:

Tip the mixture into a frying pan and add the cream cheese, tomato puree and Lemon Pepper. Cook over a low heat for around 5 minutes.

Step 7:

Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to instructions on the packet. Drain and add the pasta back into the saucepan. Tip the pumpkin sauce into the pasta and mix well until everything is coated (if the sauce is too thick, you can add a little of the pasta cooking water).

Serve with parmesan.
