Peel and finely chop the onion, place in heated frying pan with a splash of olive oil, pine nuts and chopped celery. Cook until the onion is tender and the pine nuts are lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Add onion mixture to mashed pumpkin but do not stir it in at this stage. 3. Cook the pasta in boiling water according to instructions, usually about 9 minutes, drain. 4. Add the pumpkin and onion mixture to the pasta along with the fetta, baby spinach and cream, stir lightly trying not to let the pasta break up too much. 5.
