cup yellow onion
tsp salt
tsp ground cumin
tsp dried rosemary
cup water
can pumpkin puree

tbsp tomato paste
Instructions
0 Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute until the onion is translucent. 1 Add the ground beef and cook, breaking into bite size pieces, until cooked through. Approximately 5 minutes. Add the salt, chipotle powder, cumin, rosemary and pepper. Stir to combine. 2 Add the uncooked pasta, beef broth and water to the pan, stirring to submerge the pasta shells as best as possible. Bring to a boil and reduce to medium heat. Cook, stirring often for 12-14 minutes or until the pasta is cooked. 3 Optional, add the cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, tomato paste and cinnamon to a blender and blend so the cottage cheese is smooth. Or, just add in chunky, I promise it doesn’t effect the taste or texture of the pasta. 4 Add the cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, tomato paste and cinnamon directly to the pan with the pasta. Stir and cook for a few additional minutes to warm through and evenly coat the pasta shells. 5 Adjust with salt and pepper to taste, serve and enjoy!View original recipe
