Pumpkin Pasta

Add tap water to a large pan. Add salt to the water and place over a high heat.

When boiling, add the pasta and cook according to the instructions.

Drain it and set aside.

Over a medium heat, add the butter and allow o melt without burning.

Add the garlic and cook for 20 - 30 seconds.

Add the canned pumpkin together with the cream and gently whisk.

When combined, add the parmesan and salt and pepper to taste.

Heat the sauce and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes.

If you are including any leftover meats (chicken/turkey etc) warm in a microwave and add to the sauce.

The pasta should be ready by now so test its cooked. Drain into a colander over a mug to catch some of the water.

Combine the sauce and the pasta and serve immediately in warmed bowls.

If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the pasta water and stir to thin.

Top with grated parmesan and finely chopped parsley.
