Procedure:

 
  1. Wash the pumpkin, cut off the ends, and halve it, then remove the seeds and cut it into pieces.
  2. After 5 minutes, add a little water, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes.
  3. When the pumpkin is very soft and slowly falling apart (after 20 minutes), add the vegetable cooking cream and salt to taste. Cook over a low heat for another 5 minutes. Take a few pieces of the whole pumpkin out of the pan and save them.
  4. Stir well after cooking, the pumpkin will start to break down and an orange cream sauce will form. If you want a completely smooth sauce with no chunks of pumpkin or garlic, puree it with a stick blender.
  5. In a frying pan, fry the turkey meat, cut into pieces (or strips).
  6. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package.
  7. When the pasta is cooked, add it to the roasted chicken pieces and pour the pumpkin sauce over it, adding the pieces of pumpkin you have saved. Mix everything together.

Tip: Serve on a plate drizzled with pumpkin oil and sprinkled with ground pumpkin seeds.
