2 cups uncooked multigrain bow tie pasta
1 cup water
1 teaspoon Taste of Home – Great Flavors Turkey Stock Concentrate
1/2 pound Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped

Cook pasta according to package directions. To make broth, in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk hot water and turkey stock concentrate until blended.
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook the sausage, mushrooms and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the broth, pumpkin, wine, sage, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Drain pasta; add to the skillet and heat through. Just before serving, sprinkle with cheese and parsley.
