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.

- #112790

under 30 minutes
ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 links Spanish chorizo, thinly sliced on diagonal
1 red onion, chopped
kosher salt
8 ounces linguine
4 cups loosely packed spinach, washed, drained, trimmed of tough stems
2 tomatoes, cored, chopped
1/4 cup dry red wine
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano or marjoram
6 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
directions
Heat olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and onion. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes or until chorizo is brown and warmed through and onion is translucent (Note: If you're using Mexican chorizo or Italian sausage, continue to cook until sausage is done).
Meanwhile, bring large pot of water to a boil. Add salt. Stir in linguine. Cook for 8 to 9 minutes (or according to package directions) or until al dente.
Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water. Drain linguine. Transfer to skillet with sausage and onion.
Place skillet over medium-high heat. Add spinach, tomatoes, wine and enough pasta water to make pasta slippery. Cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted and ingredients are warmed through.
Remove from heat. Stir in goat cheese, parsley, oregano and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
