Instructions
Step 1
First, cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Drain it, but make sure to reserve some pasta cooking water: about 1 cup.
Step 2
To make the sauce, add your sliced pumpkin to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, your sliced bell pepper, onion, and your whole head of garlic, with the top side cut off to expose the cloves (see the video on my TikTok).
Step 3
Drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil and salt and bake for 40-45 minutes in a 400F degree oven, until the veggies are soft.
Step 4
Remove the skin of the pumpkin, and squeeze out the now softened garlic cloves when cool enough to handle. Transfer everything to a blender and add all your spices to taste (including salt), as well as some coconut milk.
Step 5
Blend this until a smooth sauce is formed. You will likely have to add some pasta water to loosen it up.
Step 6
Heat up a portion of the sauce in a hot pan along with some reserved pasta water until you get it to your preferred consistency.
Step 7
Add your cooked pasta and toss with the sauce until well coated. Add some salt to taste and you're done!
