    List of Ingredients




    Penne with Pumpkin Sauce

    Serves: 2

    Ingredients:

    1 onion, chopped fine
    1 red bell pepper, chopped fine
    2 large garlic cloves, minced
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    1/2 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin
    1 cup chicken broth
    1/2 cup water
    2 tablespoons heavy cream
    freshly grated nutmeg to taste
    1/2 pound penne or other tubular pasta
    3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
    freshly grated Parmesan as an accompaniment

    Recipe



    In a large skillet cook the onion, the bell pepper, and the garlic
    in the butter over moderate heat, stirring, until the vegetables are
    softened, stir in the pumpkin, the broth, the water, the cream, the
    nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste, and simmer the sauce, stirring
    occasionally, for 10 minutes. While the sauce is simmering, in a
    kettle of salted boiling water boil the penne until it is al dente,
    ladle out the reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water, and drain
    the penne well.

    Add the penne to the sauce, cook the mixture over moderate heat,
    stirring and thinning the sauce as desired with some of the reserved
    cooking water, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the pasta is coated
    well, and stir in the parsley. Divide the pasta between 2 plates and
    serve it with the Parmesan.
