This Penne recipe is perfect for winter with pumkin as the base sauce along with zucchini and spicy chicken sausage.I added some low fat cream cheese to get a creamy taste,and i promose you will have the perfect dinner on a cold night to keep you warm and cosy.

you need

1 cup penne
1/2 cup pumkin puree
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup zucchini chopped fine
4 chicken sausages chopped
1 small onion chopped fine
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp low fat cream cheese
salt to taste

Start by making a puree with the pumkin and garlic mixed together.Keep it aside.
In olive oil saute the onion till pink and add the sausages and zucchini. Cook on low for 5/7 min till the zucchini is cooked.Add in a pinch of salt and the Italian seasoning.

At this stage you can start boiling the penne so it will be ready along with the sause.

By now the zucchini and sausages will be done so now add in the pumkin puree,and cook for 5 min on low.

Cover the pan so the pumkin puree gets well coated with the sausages and also gets cooked quickly.

Now add in the boiled penne and toss well.Cover the pan for 2 min.

Finish off the dish by mixing in the cream cheese and the crushed pepper.

Serve hot with a slice of bread.
Dinner is now ready !!
