Stove Top Beef and Penne With Pumpkin Sauce image

This is a fast and filling meal. The pumpkin in the sauce adds a nice depth of flavor in addition to a lot of good nutrients. You can use canned pumpkin or fresh pumpkin puree. With Halloween around the corner this is a great way to use up some of your left over jack-o-lantern!
