Penne-Wise Pumpkin Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 pound pasta (whole wheat penne is suggested, but twists or some other shape would probably work too)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (could use lard or butter or any other oil - it\'s for sauteeing the vegs)
• 1 onion, chopped (the original recipe called for a 3 shallots, but I didn\'t have any)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• one (15 oz) can pure pumpkin puree (I used the flesh from the hubbard and guessed at the quantity)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (I used Sriracha)
• 2 pinches ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• pepper
• 7 leaves fresh sage, thinly sliced (I didn\'t have any so I used tarragon. Hey, it was green!)
• Parmesan cheese, to grate over top
