In a large mixing bowl, combine the capsicum, tomatoes, pumpkin, onion and garlic cloves. Add the smoked paprika, oregano, chilli powder, sea salt, black pepper and olive oil. Toss well to evenly coat the vegetables.

Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on the prepared baking tray. Roast for 35–40 minutes, or until golden and tender.

Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni according to the package instructions. Before draining, reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water. Rinse the pasta under cold water and set aside.

In a high-speed blender, add roasted vegetables and lactose free cottage cheese. Blend until smooth and creamy.

In a large skillet over low-medium heat, add the cooked rigatoni and the reserved pasta water. Pour in the roasted tomato-pumpkin sauce and stir well until the pasta is evenly coated.
