Ingredients

2	chicken breasts, boneless, sliced into strips
400 g	fettucine, cooked al dente
200 g	pumpkin, peeled, seeded, sliced
300 ml	vegetable broth
¼ tsp	coriander, ground
½ tsp	cayenne pepper
60 ml	plain yogurt
1 tbsp	honey
20 g	fresh parsely, chopped
	oil or butter, for frying

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine pumpkin, broth, oriander and pepper. Heat over medium heat, stirring often until well-combined. If broth doesn’t cover all of the pumpkin, add a bit of water. Cover pan with lid. Leave to cook until pumpkin pieces are soft enough to be squashed with a spoon.

Add yogurt and honey and stir well. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes. Most liquid should be absorbed. Transfer to a blender and process until smooth.

Sauté chicken strips in a bit of oil or butter until cooked through.

Cook fettuccine al dente.

Serve pasta topped with chicken and sauce. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
