Pumpkin and Goat's Cheese Pasta Sauce

This recipe came out of part of a leftover tin of pumpkin purée that I used for the snickerdoodles. I didn't have enough for pumpkin pie but I did have enough to have over some pasta. This was really delicious. I didn't think I liked pumpkin before but I'm discovering that I do! I've also got a recipe for a pumpkin pasta bake that I'm hoping to try out in the next few weeks.
