Cheesy, easy & delicious!

Baked feta pasta is an absolute time saver. I absolutely love it with pumpkin. It is cheesy, creamy and full of flavor. I use hokkaido pumpkin for this recipe. The advantage of using it is that you do not have to peel it. So all you need to do is to cut it into pieces and remove the seeds. You can use another type of pumpkin for this recipe, but then you have to peel it. Baking feta with pumpkin and spices makes it very flavorful. The taste really develops here and you get a perfect pasta sauce! Take it out of the oven and blend all the ingredients together – and the perfect creamy sauce is ready. When you bake feta and pumpkin with all the spices in the oven, you can cook the pasta. Cook it al dente, according to instructions on the package. I like to use a short type of pasta for this recipe. I tried it with spaghetti and it is still very delicious, but it is very difficult to warm it up the next day.
