•Cook the pasta to the package directions.
•While you wait for it to finish: Spray the inside of a large sauce-pot with the cooking spray. Pour in the olive oil and cook over medium heat. Then stir in the wheat pastry flour and keep stirring until the mixture is thick -- but not browned. (About 1 minute)
•Add the milk and stir constantly for between 2 and 3 minutes. Until thick.
•Add the pumpkin puree, cheese, and pureed garbanzo beans (to puree, just rise a can garbanzos, put in a food processor with a couple tablespoons water, pulse until smooth -- like hummus), paprika, and pepper. Stir until everything is melted. Add more seasonings to taste.
•When you pasta is done, just drain and add to the cheese mixture. Stir for a minute or two, then turn off the heat and serve.
•I added some whole wheat breadcrumbs to mine.
