Instructions: Pasta with creamy pumpkin sauce

In a saucepan boil some water, add peeled pumpkin and cook it until it becomes tender.
Boil the water with salt. Add the pasta and follow instructions on the box.
Pour some oil (I put 2 teaspoons) in a pan. Stir in previously chopped garlic and cook for a minute. Add your pumpkin, mash it with a fork and cook for a few minutes.
Add milk, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, then stir and cook for another minute.
If the sauce is too thick add a few tablespoons of the cooking water from the pasta (2 tablespoons in my case). Taste and add some salt if necessary.
Add cooked pasta, sautè for another minute and serve.
