Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g Hokkaido pumpkin
- 1 onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 300 g pasta
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- a pinch of pepper
- 600 ml vegetable broth
- 200 ml cream
- 200 ml milk
- 50 g cream cheese
- grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Wash the Hokkaido pumpkin and cut it into small, bite-sized cubes. This will also take about 5 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes.
- Sauté the diced onion in the hot oil for about 3 minutes until translucent, stirring regularly to avoid burning.
- Add the pumpkin cubes and sauté them over medium heat for another 3 minutes.
- Add the pasta and thyme to the pot and stir everything well to combine.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, cream, and milk. Stir thoroughly to ensure all pasta and pumpkin pieces are covered with liquid, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the pasta to a boil, which will take about 5 minutes.
- Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- If the liquid evaporates and the pasta is not yet cooked, carefully add a little more broth or water.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cream cheese. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.

Keywords: Ensure to use the right amount of pasta; too much can make the dish dry. For a creamier texture, increase the amount of cream and reduce the broth slightly. A heavy-bottomed pot is ideal to prevent burning.
