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.

I used fresh broccoli and added it to the pasta while it cooked, just towards the end so it didn't overcook. No need to dirty two pans this way.
