Ingredients

6 ounces whole wheat penne pasta
¾ cup pumpkin puree
¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
¼ cup nonfat milk
1 teaspoon margarine
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground ginger
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Steps:

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the penne, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
Heat the pumpkin puree, chicken broth, milk, margarine, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger in a large skillet over low heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the drained pasta, and toss with the Parmesan cheese.
