Pumpkin and Sausage Pasta

I recently made this pasta for our Bible study and it's always a big hit. It's also easy to do for large crowds. Requires a little prep work but worth it. Also, I wouldn't say it's the prettiest suce I've ever seen but the taste makes up for it in a big way. Enjoy!!

-olive oil
-red onion (chopped)
-1 garlic clove
-pancetta (chopped, one ounce round or equivalent). or I prefer to use sausage. just the cheap kind is good.
-grated pumpkin (2 or more cups)
-cream or milk (~100 ml)
-pasta (spaghetti works best) I use penne for big crowds.

*Saute first four ingredients for 10 mins
*Add grated pumpkin and stir, cook 'til boils down, make take a bit of time. starts to look like orange/brown mush.
*While doing this, boil pasta water and cook pasta
*slowly add cream to pumpkin mixture. then combine with warm pasta
- serves about 6
