Step 1

Pre heat the oven to 200C.

Step 2

Toss the pumpkin, onions, garlic, red chilli, turmeric and thyme with olive oil. Spread out evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 25 minutes, till the pumpkin is soft and cooked through.

Step 3

In the meanwhile, cook the macaroni till al dente in plenty of salted water. Drain well. Save one cup of pasta water for later use.

Step 4

For the sauce: Blend together the roasted vegetables and coconut milk in your blender until smooth.

Step 5

Pour out in a saucepan and season the sauce with salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Let it come to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Add the cooked pasta and spinach. Cook for a further 4-5 minutes. If the sauce seems to thick, add some of that pasta water you'd saved. Taste and adjust for seasoning.

Step 7

Gently stir in the parmesan cheese and serve warm. Enjoy!
