Pasta with Pumpkin-Curry Sauce

2 cloves garlic, chopped
spices to taste (I used 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of):
cinnamon,
1 cup or so pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon or so peanut butter (tahini would probably work too)
1/2 cup or so veggie broth
1/2 cup or so soy milk
handful of raisins
1/2 cup soy milk
salt to taste
cooked pasta or your choice
What you do:
Sautee onion and garlic in water for a few minutes (till onion is crisp-tender). Add spices. Stir for a few minutes. Add pumpkin puree and peanut butter and stir. Add veggie broth and soymilk a little at a time, till consistency seems right (not too thin, not too thick). Add raisins and cooked pasta. Stir and heat through. Add salt to taste.

SO HOW'D IT GO?
really good!
needs only 1 Tbsp curry paste for my taste though
i will make this again!
I didn't think a recipe existed for the random assortment of leftovers in my fridge, but it does. And it's not too shabby either.
Pros: Hey - this was fairly quick (had to saute the onions/garlic), and darn tasty.
Cons: It's not the most colorful or prettiest dish ever. Maybe stir in some spinach for color.
Alterations: I used half coconut milk/soy milk 'cause I wanted to use up an old can. Since the spices were missing, I used 3 tablespoons of massaman curry paste.
