Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g pumpkin (3 cups), diced
- 2 garlic bulbs
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 3 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1/2 cup white grape juice
- 2 cups small pasta
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 50 g parmesan, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit). Cut the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves, then place them alongside diced pumpkin and rosemary in an oven-proof dish. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for about 45 minutes until caramelized.
- Once roasted, let cool slightly before squeezing out the garlic cloves into a pot. Remove rosemary leaves from stems. Add chicken or vegetable stock and white grape juice along with small pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until pasta is tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in grated parmesan until melted and creamy.
- Serve immediately, garnishing with extra cheese if desired.
