Pumpkin Alfredo pasta

I was looking around my kitchen tonight. I wanted to do something a bit different for frozen pasta meals and this was what I came up with. I'm extremely pleased. You can substitute a pound of regular shaped pasta for the gnocchi, if desired.

1 15oz jar Alfredo sauce
2 chicken stock
1 15oz can pumpkin
2 1.1# pkg potato gnocchi
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 T minced garlic

Cook gnocchi according to directions and drain.  In a sauce pan over medium heat, empty the can of pumpkin. Slowly whisk in the stock until it is smooth. Gently add the Alfredo sauce, tomatoes, garlic, and pepper. Heat to boiling and fold in the pasta until it is warmed through. Serve!

Makes enough for 4-6 people as a side or 2-3 as a main course
