Directions

2. Pre-heat the broiler.
3. In another saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour. Whisk properly and cook for about a minute on medium heat.
4. Add chicken stock to the saucepan and make a reduction till there is almost nothing left.
5. Now add honey and milk to the saucepan. Mix gently.
6. Its time to add spices now. Add all-spice, white pepper, nutmeg, mustard and salt to the pan. Mix again.
7. Next whisk in the pumpkin puree and cheddar cheese into the saucepan. Cook until the cheese melts properly.
8. Your pasta sauce is ready.
9. Add pasta to it. Mix well.
10. Transfer the contents into a large casserole dish and sprinkle with sweet paprika and the remaining shredded cheese.
11. Broil till the cheese melts and bubbles.
12. Garnish with chopped parsley.

For those of us who prefer vegetarian can replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock. And the other way round, meat lovers can throw in a few chunks of chicken.
