Linguine with creamy pumpkin sauce & walnuts

Today I made pasta with a creamy pumpkin sauce. The sauce is very creamy due to the carbohydrate content and yellow pumpkin is a very good source of vitamin A. 

Ingredients : 

1 cup chopped yellow pumpkin

1 medium onion chopped

3 cloves garlic 

1 cup skimmed milk

1 tbsp mixed Italian herbs 

1 tsp red chili flakes

Handful of roasted chopped walnuts

Chopped coriander leaves

2 tbsp olive oil 

Method: 

In a pan , heat 2 tbsp olive oil. Add the garlic cloves and chopped onions. Sauté till translucent. Add the chopped pumpkin, chili flakes and herbs. Cool till soft. Add salt and the skimmed milk. Let it boil till the pumpkin is really soft. Blend it till it's almost smooth. Meanwhile boil the pasta of your choice in a pot till aldente. Add the pasta to the sauce and serve warm garnished with chopped walnuts and coriander leaves.
