Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz. (250 g) pasta (fettuccine or penne)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 23 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Sautéed mushrooms (optional)
  • Spinach or kale (optional)

  • Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest.
  • Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add Sage: Stir in the chopped sage and sauté for another minute to release its flavors.
  • Create the Creamy Base: Lower the heat and mix in the pumpkin puree, followed by the heavy cream. Stir until well combined.
  • Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Toss the Pasta: Add the drained pasta directly into the sauce. Toss to coat each piece evenly.
  • Serve: Plate the pasta, garnish with fried sage leaves, walnuts, or extra Parmesan if desired, and serve warm.
