  1. Boil a large pot of salted water for your pasta. Cook it according to package directions.
  2. Add oil to a skillet on medium heat and sauté onions until they're slightly browned (about 10 minutes).
  3. Meanwhile, chop mushrooms and then add them to the pan along with the garlic, mustard, and Italian seasoning. Cook for another 10 minutes.
  4. Add the pumpkin, cream, and spinach. Cook for another few minutes until the spinach has wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
