Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place prepared pumpkin on baking sheet, bake 45 minutes and then allow to cool.

When cool, cut pumpkin into cubes and remove skin (Note: It should peel off easily.)

On baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place cut bacon and cook at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

In medium saucepan, add coconut milk, water, salt and pepper. Bring to boil, add pasta, cover and simmer 10 minutes to al dente.

Reduce heat under saucepan to medium-low and add parmesan, nutritional yeast and 2 cups pumpkin. Stir together and cook 5-10 minutes.

Before serving, stir in cooked bacon and fresh parsley.
