A creamy and savory pasta sauce featuring the warm flavors of pumpkin and sage, perfect for a cozy autumn meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 12 ounces pasta of your choice

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, sage, and nutmeg. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in pumpkin puree and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook until sauce is smooth and heated through, about 5 minutes. Do not boil.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  7. Add drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat. If sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a lighter sauce, you can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Fresh sage can be used instead of dried. Use 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped sage.
  • This sauce is also delicious with roasted butternut squash instead of pumpkin puree.
