- Finely mince the garlic cloves
- Heat a large pot or skillet over medium heat with the olive oil
- Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute just to flavor the oil, being careful not to burn it

- Stir the ingredients occasionally for 10 minutes, until the pumpkin begins to soften
- Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low
- Let it cook for 5 minutes for the pumpkin to finish softening in its own steam

- Turn off the heat and serve immediately
