Recipe's preparation

  1. Place mozzarella & parmesan into TMX bowl.  Grate for 5 seconds on Speed 8.  Set aside.
  2. Place onion, garlic, pumpkin and bacon into TMX bowl.  Lock the lid and chop by pressing the Turbo button 3-4 times.

  3. Add butter and cook for 5 minutes at 100°, on reverse Counter-clockwise operationon Speed 2.

  4. Add stock/salt, nutmeg, flour, marscarpone and milk.  Cook for a further 5 minutes at100°, on reverse Counter-clockwise operationon Speed 2.


     (While steps 3 and 4 are going, I cook the macaroni in a pot of boiling water on the stove.  You don't want to completely cook it - 5 minutes in the boiling water is plenty of time because it will continue to cook in the oven.)


     

  5. Drain the pasta and pour it into a heatproof casserole dish.  Pour the sauce over the top and stir through.  Top with the mozzarella and parmesan mix and garnish with sage leaves

  6. Cook in the oven at 180° for approximately 20 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

    SO so good! kids and I loved it. I only had about half the amount of pumpkin, and made the rest up with sweet potato and zucchini. Cauliflower would also work well. Omitted bacon as I am vegetarian, and used cream cheese instead of marscapone. Delicious

  • I used Sweet potato instead

    Submitted by amyamyamy on 24. March 2015 - 13:34.

    I used Sweet potato instead of pumpkin and cream cheese instead of marscapone (only because that's that I had handy). I also split the batch when putting into oven trays and did one batch pasta and one batch using zoodles (zucchini noodles). The zoodle batch is a little watery but it tastes amazing and is so easy to make (I can't eat pasta)  I haven't made the original to compare But will certainly make this again.

    Submitted by jmatacz on 3. December 2012 - 18:19.

    Could you substitute the marscapone in this for cream cheese or cottage cheese? I plan to make this tonight and didn't want to have to go out and spend $$$ on marscapone as it can be expensive. Thanks tmrc_emoticons.)
