Ingredients
Scale
8 oz. (250 g) pasta (fettuccine or penne)
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
2–3 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.
