You may need add a spoonful or two of water during the cooking the pan seems dry. Set aside.
• While the pumpkin is steaming, tip the butter and sage into a small saucepan and heat gently until the butter is foaming, then turn off the heat.

When the spaghetti is cooked, scoop out a little of the cooking water, then drain and return the spaghetti to the pan.
