Pumpkin pasta sauce

INGREDIENTS

  • 300 g pumpkin flesh
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 150 g goat cheese
  • 80 g sun-dried tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper
  • 500 g pasta

METHOD

  1. Cook the pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente, then drain.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the pumpkin sauce in a separate pot. Add diced pumpkin to a small amount of water, along with garlic, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the pumpkin softens.
  3. Keep just enough water in the pot to cover 3/4 of the pumpkin, then blend everything into a smooth mixture using an immersion or countertop blender.
  4. While the sauce is still warm, stir in goat cheese and finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Add salt to taste, if needed.
  5. Serve the prepared sauce over the cooked pasta.
