A good way to use fresh pumpkin and not have a long cooking time is to prick the pumpkin, cook it on High in the microwave for 15 minutes, cool it, remove the seeds and slimy innards, peel it and pureed the pumpkin pulp in the food processor.)
Have you tried Rahcel Ray's recipe called pumpkin pasta with sausage? It's really good. It's in her new cookbook- 365 No Repeats.
