Ravioli with Pumpkin Cream Sauce

On a recent trip to my local Trader Joe's I was browsing the aisles for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING pumpkin. I found pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin yogurt, organic canned pumpkin, and pumpkin pancake and waffle mix. But just before I hit the cash register I stumbled across Goat Cheese and Sundried Tomato Ravioli. I mean, how do you say no to goat cheese and sundried tomato wrapped in a pasta pillow? You don't. So I threw it in my basket and headed home. Once I got home and unloaded my bag of goodies I quickly realized that I didn't have any sauce to serve over my pasta. But what I did have was some leftover pumpkin, some half and half, and some parmesan cheese in my fridge. I whisked it all together to make a thick cream sauce and served it over my freshly cooked pasta. I could go on and on about how amazing it was, and about how I may or may not have eaten the entire bowl, but I will let the recipe and pictures speak for themselves.
