Pumpkin Pasta





I love Fall, it's the only time in Houston when you're able to spend time outside.  I cooked my first ever pumpkin.  I got an organic sugar pumpkin from Whole Foods about the size of your head and bright orange.  I cut the pumpkin in half and proceeded to skin it, which was no easy task.  I think it took about 30 min just to skin half of the pumpkin.  Once I removed the skin, I cut the pumpkin in the bite size chunks that I could boil.  In a saute pan, I sauteed an onion.  Once the onion was translucent, I added the pumpkin and chicken stock.  While the pumpkin was simmering, I cooked half a pound of rigatoni to add to the pumpkin mixture.
