How to Prepare Pumpkin Pasta With Tomatoes and Basil [Vegan]

Cook the whole wheat penne according to the instructions on the package. Set aside.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion for about one minute. Then add the pumpkin cubes and cook for six minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Then deglaze with white wine and vegetable broth and allow it to evaporate. This will take about 10 minutes.
Add the cherry tomatoes and simmer for two minutes. Then stir in the cooked penne and the basil leaves. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the pasta is heated through. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.

Notes

If you’re cooking for kids, just leave out the white wine in the sauce and substitute it with more vegetable broth.
