Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Halloween Pasta Delight.
Step 1
Start by bringing a generous pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Toss in your Halloween-shaped and wagon wheel-shaped pasta, cooking until it reaches that perfect al dente texture, which should take about 12 minutes.
Step 3
Once done, drain the pasta and transfer it to a spacious mixing bowl.

Meanwhile, in a separate pot, add the chopped pumpkin and cover it with salted water.
Step 5
Bring this to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until the pumpkin is tender, roughly 20 minutes.
Step 6
After draining the pumpkin, return it to the pot and infuse it with nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, minced garlic, chopped onion, chili powder, and three tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 7
Stir everything together, ensuring the pumpkin is beautifully coated with the aromatic spices and oil.
Step 8
In the bowl with your cooked pasta, introduce sliced black olives and drained garbanzo beans.
Step 9
Add in the chopped garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, a quarter cup of olive oil, and a sprinkle of dried oregano.

Toss this delightful mixture until all the ingredients are harmoniously combined.
