Preparation

Serves 4.

Method

  • Add the pumpkin, onions, vegetable stock, garlic, mustard, nutmeg, and black pepper to a large pan.
  • Place the pan over medium heat, cover, and cook gently for around thirty minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin is tender.
  • Set the pan aside to cool a little and bring a fresh pan of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the macaroni to the water and cook according to the pasta’s instructions.
  • Meanwhile, add the pumpkin mix to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Once cooked, drain the pasta and return to the pan. Add the pumpkin sauce and mix well to coat the macaroni fully.
  • Return the pan to medium heat, add the cornflour paste and stir to thicken.
  • Remove from the heat, stir in the nutritional yeast, season with extra black pepper if desired, and serve with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.
