Preheat oven to 375°.

In small skillet heat oil, add onion and sauté until tender, add mushrooms and ¼ teaspoon salt.  Heat about 2 minutes until mushrooms are heated through.  Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine pumpkin, half and half, sage, pepper, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.

Spread ½ cup pumpkin sauce in an 11 X 7 inch baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray.
