PUMPKIN MACARONI PIE

Steps:

• Make the White Sauce:
• Melt butter in a saucepan or pot over a very low fire.
• Add onion and allow to cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in the flour gradually to a smooth paste.
• Pour in the milk. Continue stirring.
• Add white pepper.
• Allow to simmer until thick. Stir gradually. Set aside.
• Note: It is normal for the milk to form a "skin" while it cools. So don't worry too much about that.
• Boil macaroni. Drain. Place in a deep bowl. Then add the grated pumpkin. Mix well.
• Note: We used raw grated pumpkin and not cooked pumpkin. This was to avoid overcooking the pumpkin and not deriving much nutritional value from the vegetable.
• Add the white sauce, Angostura bitters, ketchup, celery, pimento, and 1 cup of cheese. Mix well.
• Preheat oven at 400 degrees F.
• Pour mixture in a well greased casserole dish.
• Garnish with sweet pepper and the remainder of cheese.
