Steps

1

Prepare all the ingredients
2

Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F. Place the mushrooms, garlic, herbs, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper onto a large pan and mix until the mushrooms are coated. Roast for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden.
3

Roast the pumpkin along with the mushrooms but for 40 minutes.
4

Alternatively, to cook the pumpkin purée just slice a pumpkin in half and roast, cut side down, on a lined baking tray for about 40 minutes at 200C. It depends on the size of the pumpkin, until fork soft. Then scoop out the seeds, set aside, scoop out the flesh, mash, and there you have it!
5

While the mushrooms and pumpkin are in the oven, cook your pasta in well salted water according to package instructions. Make sure to reserve 1/2 cup of the water when you drain the pasta.
6

Vegetable stock pot in 180 ml water and cook for a couple of minutes until dissolved
7

Place all of the ingredients into a blender, and blend on high speed until smooth. Taste and season further if needed.
8

Add the sauce to the pasta and mix
9

Add the roasted mushrooms and dress with walnuts/pumpkin seeds
