The roasted pumpkin and sage add so much flavour, making this dish a dream come true for all the pumpkin lovers out there.

Ingredients
- 3 pumpkin 1 ½ cup roasted pumpkin puree, roasted wedges
- 1 ½ cups milk 375 ml, full-fat
- 2 cups fusilli pasta
- 2 tablespoon butter ( 30 g)
- 1 teaspoon sage dried
- ½ cup cheddar cheese grated
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon sea salt coarse
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly grated
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
- In a large pot set over a medium heat, add the butter and allow it to melt.
- Pour in the milk and give it a good mix.
- Bring the milk to the boil, then add the sage, cheeses, dijon mustard and roasted pumpkin puree.
- Season with salt and pepper
- Use a whisk to mix everything well until it thickens into a sauce.
- Add the cooked pasta, and mix it so it can be well coated in sauce.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Using a whisk to stir continuously until the sauce thickens helps massively, it works much better than a wooden spoon, and you get a smooth, lump-free sauce that coats the pasta nicely.
- It is important to have the pasta ready cooked before adding it to the sauce, as it won't have time to cook here - do not overcook the pasta though, as it will continue to cook i the residual heat of the sauce.
- It would also turn to mush when stirred into the sauce, so best to have it cook al dente when added to the sauce, so it can keep a nice shape.
