Baked Ziti with Pumpkin

2 1/2 cups cooked rotini
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 can pumpkin puree(not spiced)
1 lb italian sausage or ground beef
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt(like Chobani...My favorite!)
1/2 a medium onion, chopped
2 cups shredded cheese

 Remove the casings from the sausage and cook like ground beef. Saute onion for a few minutes until tender. While that is cooking boil your pasta and drain it. When the meat is cooked through add in the pumpkin, spaghetti sauce, and greek yogurt. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese and the rotini. Place in a 13x9in baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

This can be made in the morning and put into the oven at dinner time. I also didn't use any spices in this because the sausage I used gave it a lot of flavor. If you are using ground beef make sure you season it well with salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, and any other italian seasonings you like. You can't taste the pumpkin at all, it just adds some great health benefits like: Beta-Carotene which may lower cancer risk, Vitamin C which helps your immune system, and Potassium which keeps your blood pressure regulated.
