Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g pumpkin (3 cups), diced
  • 2 garlic bulbs
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup white grape juice
  • 2 cups small pasta
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 50 g grated parmesan (or plant-based alternative)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Cut off the tops of the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves. In an oven-proof dish, combine garlic, pumpkin, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for approximately 45 minutes until soft and caramelized.
  2. Allow roasted vegetables to cool slightly. Squeeze garlic cloves into a large pot and add roasted pumpkin pieces along with rosemary leaves. Pour in chicken stock and white grape juice.
  3. Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce to medium heat. Add small pasta and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until most liquid is absorbed.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in grated parmesan until melted into the sauce. Serve hot.
