To start, cook the pasta according to package instructions and set aside. In a saucepan, heat some olive oil over medium heat and cook the diced onion until translucent. Add in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.

Next, add the spicy sausage to the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once the sausage is browned and cooked through, pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.

Stir in the pumpkin puree and heavy cream, allowing the mixture to come to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add in the cooked pasta and grated parmesan cheese, stirring until everything is well combined.

Serve the creamy pumpkin pasta with a sprinkle of extra parmesan cheese on top for an added touch of richness. This dish is perfect for enjoying on a chilly evening with a glass of your favorite wine.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1000g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 250g, with an estimated calorie count of 400 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon to the sauce for a warm, autumnal flavor that complements the pumpkin beautifully.
