• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• skillet
• colander

To start, cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted water. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

In the same skillet, add the pumpkin puree and dried cranberries. Stir in the maple syrup and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander and add it to the skillet with the pumpkin sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated. Crumble the crispy bacon on top and sprinkle the feta cheese over the dish.

Give the pasta a final gentle stir to incorporate all the ingredients. Serve hot and enjoy the unique combination of sweet pumpkin, salty bacon, tangy feta, and chewy cranberries in every bite.
