Instructions

Step 1/3
Cook Pasta
Boil pasta in salted water until al dente reserving around 1/4 cup of pasta water for later. Drain and set aside.

Step 2/3
Make the Sauce
In a small saucepan over medium low heat add in milk, pumpkin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper to taste. Stir until warm and smooth and then add in your cheddar and parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and creamy and then take off the heat. Add in greek yogurt. Stir your cornstarch with double the amount of cold water and mix into sauce, bringing to a light simmer.

Step 3/3
Finish and Serve
Adjust thickness with a splash of pasta water if needed. Add cooked pasta into the sauce and stir. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Add chili flakes on top if you like heat.
