A quick and easy creamy pasta, perfect for a midweek meal!


Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 4 Cups Uncooked Penne pasta
  • 1/2 Pumpkin, diced
  • 2 whole bulbs of garlic
  • 2 tbs Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Pine nuts
  • 1 cup Natural yogurt
  • 1 cup thickened cream
  • 100g Diced bacon
  • 1/2 cup Garlic chives

  • 50g Parmesan cheese shaved

Method

  1. Toss diced pumpkin, whole garlic cloves and bacon pieces with the olive oil and paprika, season with salt and pepper and bake in a hot oven for approximately 15 minutes or until well roasted
  2. Meanwhile prepare pasta according to packet directions, when al dente, drain and set aside
  3. Using a bar mix or blender combine thickened cream, roast vegetables and pine nuts (dont over mix, you want it a little chunky!)
