1. Start cooking your pasta in a large pan of boiling, salted water according to the package directions.
2. Put the garlic in a small, dry frying pan over a medium-low heat. When the garlic starts to colour add in the pine nuts and toast them until turning golden.
3. Remove the garlic and pour the pine nuts into a larger, cold frying pan with the butter and dried onions. Peel the garlic, finely mince it and add it to the pan. Heat on low until the butter is just melted, then add the pumpkin puree and stir to combine.
4. Place the mixture in a blender and blitz until smooth. Pour back into the frying pan over a medium-low heat and add the cream, chicken stock, parmesan and nutmeg. Stir well to combine and heat. Add salt to taste.
