Method
 

  1. Cook pasta in salted water until tender with a slight bite. Drain well.
  2. Blend pumpkin puree, cashews, milk, nutritional yeast, oil, and seasonings until very smooth.
  3. Heat sauce in a saucepan, stirring until thick, glossy, and creamy.
  4. Add drained pasta and fold gently until every noodle is coated.
  5. Serve immediately for softer texture, or transfer to a tray and bake for crisp edges.
  6. Rest five minutes before scooping for easier assembly handling and cleaner portions.
