Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh sage
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.
  2. While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Stir in pumpkin puree, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and sage. Cook, stirring, until heated through and slightly thickened.
  5. Add cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for extra warmth.
  • Top with toasted pumpkin seeds for a delightful crunch.
