Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

ingredients
3/4 pound pasta (angel hair works well)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped fine
3 tablespoons butter, olive oil or mixture of the two
1 1/2 cup grilled or barbecued chicken, cut in morsels
1 teaspoon oregano or thyme, fresh or dried (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup dry white wine
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
directions
Put the pasta water on to boil.
Saute the garlic in the butter on low heat until it just begins to turn color (light gold).
Add the chicken morsels and the (optional) oregano.
Add the lemon juice and white wine and allow to simmer so the sauce reduces slightly and the chicken absorbs the flavor.
Cook the pasta.
Drain the cooked pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water to moisten the pasta if some people like the sauce more 'liquid'.
Add the drained pasta to the sauce and mix well.
Serve on heated plates, garnishing with the parsley.
