Brown them for few minutes and then cover everything with vegetable broth and add a bunch of thyme. Let it cook until the broth is fully absorbed, and the pumpkin has softened up.
Remove the thyme and blend everything until smooth. Keep a side for later.

Once ready take the pan off the heat, add a spoon of butter and 60g of grated Grana Padano, whisk everything and serve.
