Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F.

- Cook pasta according to box directions.
- While pasta is cooking, add ricotta, egg, 1 cup of the mozzarella, parmesan, broth, cream and pumpkin to a medium bowl and stir until smooth and creamy. If it is thicker than desired, you can thin it out slightly with more cream or broth.
- Add in shallot, garlic and spices and stir to combine.
- When pasta is cooked, drain and then toss with the spinach to wilt.
- Add pasta to the pumpkin ricotta mixture and stir well to coat all of the rotini. Pour into a small to medium greased casserole dish or a 9x9 greased pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until slight bubbling.
- Sprinkle with the rest of the mozzarella and bake another 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Cool for several minutes before serving. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 5 days.

Notes
Incorporating a pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, aromatic depth to the dish, enhancing the sweetness of the pumpkin and balancing the richness of the cheeses. This subtle spice elevates the overall flavor profile, making each bite uniquely comforting.
