    | 1. Rinse the outside of the pumpkin, remove the seeds, cut it up into medium-small pieces. | 2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 boullion cube and the cut up pumpkin. | 3. Put the lid on and boil until it is soft--about 1 hour, more or less (the time depends on the size of the pumpkin). | 4. Remove cooked pumpkin from the pot into a colander to cool. | 5. While pumpkin is cooling, sauté the chopped onion until clear, in a bit of olive oil. | 6. Using a spoon, scoop the cooled pumpkin out of its skin or peel the skin away from the pumpkin and put into a bowl. | 7. Mash the pumpkin well and fold in the onions and any oil left in the pan. | 8. Put the cooked pumpkin and onion mixture into a medium stock pot and add 1 cup of water, 1 chicken bullion cube and a pinch of nutmeg. | 9. It should have a thick"sauce type" consistency. | 10. Simmer for one hour, checking to make sure there is just enough liquid (be careful not to let it scorch). | 11. While the pasta is boiling, add the heavy cream and 1 teaspoon olive oil to the sauce. | 12. Continue simmering sauce until pasta is cooked. | 13. Pour sauce over cooked, drained pasta and toss lightly to mix. | 14. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
