Instructions
1
Cut the pumpkin into small pieces and cook them in a pot with boiling water and a touch of salt. When the pumpkin is tender (if the pieces are small enough, they should cook in 10 minutes), drain, and place in a bowl. Use a fork to mash and make into a puree. Set aside.
2
Cook the pasta in another pot for the time indicated on the package. Once cooked, set aside a cup of the pasta water and add it to the puree. Next, drain the pasta and set aside.
3
Wash the mushrooms and dice. Slice the leek.
4
Lightly fry the leek and mushrooms in a pan with some hot oil in it. Add some salt and cook over medium heat for 6-7 minutes.
5
After this time add the pasta to the pan along with the pumpkin puree. Mix everything so the flavors blend together. Serve on 2 plates.
