CREAMY PUMPKIN PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.
• Cook and stir sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain sausage on paper towels and reserve 2 tablespoons grease in the skillet. Add oil to grease in the skillet; cook and stir onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes in the hot oil-grease until onion is soft, about 3 minutes.
• Stir chicken broth, pumpkin, bacon, Italian seasoning, and salt into onion mixture; bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir cream and sausage into broth mixture and simmer until creamy and thickened, about 5 minutes. Add rotini and gently toss. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and golden brown, about 35 minutes.

ONE PAN PUMPKIN PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large ovenproof frying pan. Add the onion, garlic, bacon, capsicum and chilli flakes. Gently fry until the vegetables and bacon are soft.
• Add the pumpkin and half the chicken stock, cover and simmer gently until the pumpkin begins to soften. Crush it a little with a fork and then add the remaining stock, the dried pasta and lite evaporated milk.
• Stir well then add the rosemary. Simmer gently until the pasta is tender and the liquid absorbed. If the liquid is evaporating too quickly, cover the pan while simmering. When the pasta and pumpkin are tender, remove the rosemary sprig and stir in the grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste then smooth over the top. Sprinkle on the breadcrumbs and a little extra grated cheese and brown under a heated grill until golden and bubbling.

• Bake covered for 15-20 minutes (until cheese has melted).
• Then broil for a quick 2-3 minutes if you want the cheese on top to brown and get toasty. Keep on eye on it while it's broiling to make sure you don't overdo it. Serve immediately, before it gets cold.
