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
14 ounces jumbo pasta shells
4 cups milk
1 onion, finely chopped
4 carrots, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon salt
sage
directions
Pour the milk in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the salt and the pasta shells and stir to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente according to package directions; drain.
Heat the oil in a pan. Add the onion and the sage, and cook until the onion wilts and becomes slightly brown. Add the carrots and celery and cook for 15 minutes, adding vegetable broth if the mix becomes too dry.
Coat a skillet with extra virgin olive oil, and place the pasta shells stuffed with the mix; sprinkle the Parmesan on the top and bake at 350 F for 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
For this dish it is suggested a non-sparkling white wine.
