First, bring a large pot to a boil for your shells. Once boiling cook your pasta as per the instructions.
Preheat your oven to 375 degree F
Sauce In a Medium skillet, add your unsalted butter and cook until melted.
Add in your minced garlic & chilli flakes, and let cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add in your pumpkin, salt, minced sage, and cook on medium-low for 2-3 minutes.
Reduce to low, add in your whole milk and Romano cheese and cook for another 5 minutes.
Filing In a medium bowl, add in your Pumpkin, ricotta, and romano, and stir until fully combined.
Stuffed Shells Once your shells are cooked, be sure to pat them dry before continuing.
Add an even layer of your sauce to the bottom of your baking dish.
Add in 2 tbsp (or one heaping table spoon) of filling to each of your shells and arrange in a baking dish.
Once finished, add the rest of your sauve overtop, ensuring each shell is mostly covered.
Top it off with your mozzarella and extra sage, and bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
I like to finish off the last 5 minutes with a broil, but that's optional! Enjoy!
