Pumpkin Bean Spaghetti Recipes

PUMPKIN & BEAN SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan, then fry onions for 8 mins, until softened and just beginning to brown. Add the garlic and pumpkin, then fry for a further 5 mins, stirring occasionally. Stir in the tomatoes and stock. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 15 mins, until the pumpkin is tender.
• Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling water according to pack instructions.
• Add beans to the sauce, cook for 3-4 mins, until heated through, then season. Drain spaghetti well, return to pan, then stir in the sauce. Divide between serving bowls, then serve sprinkled with the cheese.

PUMPKIN BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the bell pepper and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in the garlic and cumin and cook, stirring, for an additional 2 minutes.
• Pour in the pumpkin puree, black beans, corn, chicken broth, tomato sauce, and 1 teaspoon cilantro; season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring the soup to a gentle boil; reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes.
• Garnish each bowl of soup with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream and additional cilantro, if desired.

PUMPKIN WITH WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• Place beans in a medium saucepan and cover by about 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil; remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse.
• In a stockpot over medium-high heat, warm olive oil. Add onion, garlic, serrano chile, and 1/4 tsp. kosher salt. Saute until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in hot or sweet paprika and tomato paste; cook for 1 minute. Add beans, chicken stock or water, and cilantro. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for about 35 minutes.

PUMPKIN PASTA

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the penne, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Heat the pumpkin puree, chicken broth, milk, margarine, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger in a large skillet over low heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the drained pasta, and toss with the Parmesan cheese.
