  • Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
  • Transfer the cooled mixture to a mixer jar.
  • Add the milk and blend until you get a smooth, creamy puree.

Cook the Millet Pasta

  • Measure the required quantity of millet pasta and keep it ready.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
  • Add salt to the boiling water.
  • Add the millet pasta and cook until done.
  • Avoid overcooking, as the pasta will cook a little more when mixed with the sauce.
  • Drain the pasta using a colander.
  • Rinse it briefly under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking.

Prepare the Pumpkin Sauce Pasta

  • Heat a little oil in a wide pan.

    Bell peppers (Capsicum)
