Step 1

Step 2
Take a pan and worm up some oil, it doesn't need to fry. Ease down the shallots and the pumpkin cubes. Stir for a minute and add some water. The water only has to cover the vegetables. Cook the pumpkin for about 30 minutes and with a lid on your pan. It has to become a cream. Add water every time the pan gets too dry.

Step 3
When the pumpkin is creamy, add some salt and pepper and chopped kale. Remember to always add a spoon of water every now and then so the pan never gets dry.

Step 4
In the meantime prepare the pasta. Cook it in salty boiling water as long as indicated on the box. For this dish it might be better to choose a short type of pasta.
