Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and chopped sage.
  5. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through.
  6. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Add drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce.
  9. Toss to coat the pasta evenly. Add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and sage if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for extra warmth.
  • Toasted pumpkin seeds make a great crunchy topping.
