Ingredients

  • 2 cups Halloween-shaped pasta

  • 2 cups wagon wheel-shaped pasta

  • 2 ½ cups peeled chopped pumpkin

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 teaspoon chopped onion

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives

  • 1 (8 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained

  • ¼ cup chopped garlic

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons dried oregano

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook Halloween-shaped and wagon wheel-shaped pasta in boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer pasta to a large bowl.

  2. Place pumpkin in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and return pumpkin to pot. Add nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, 1 teaspoon garlic, onion, chili powder, and 3 tablespoons olive oil; stir to coat.

  3. Toss olives and garbanzo beans into cooked pasta. Add 1/4 cup garlic, Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup olive oil, and oregano. Toss to coat; top with pumpkin mixture.
