Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sugar pumpkin (about 2 pounds)
  • 1 pound pasta (penne, fettuccine, or rigatoni)
  • 4 small round bread loaves
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut pumpkin in half, scoop out seeds, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • While pumpkin is roasting, hollow out the bread loaves, creating cauldrons. Brush inside with melted butter and garlic. Toast in the oven for 5 minutes.
  • Once pumpkin is cooled, scoop out the flesh and blend until smooth.
  • In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  • Whisk in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  • Gently fold in the pumpkin puree, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
  • Spoon pasta mixture into the bread cauldrons. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
