Ingredients
- 500 g pumpkin (diced)

- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup white apple vinegar
- 2 cups small pasta
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- Grated parmesan cheese (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Cut off the tops of the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves, then place garlic, diced pumpkin, and rosemary in an oven-proof dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 45 minutes until the pumpkin is soft.
- In a stove-top safe pot, combine roasted pumpkin, garlic, rosemary leaves, chicken stock, white apple vinegar, and pasta on high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat for about 15 minutes until pasta is tender and most liquid is absorbed.
