Prep Time10 Minutes
Servings4
Cook Time15 Minutes
Ingredients
8 oz. Fettuccine Pasta
1 Cup Pure Pumpkin
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
2 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 Tsp. Nutmeg
1/2 Tsp. Cinnamon
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Fresh Parsley or sage, chopped for garnish
Optional: Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, for topping
Directions
  1. Boil a large pot of salted water. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions, until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Saute for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned. 
  3. Stir in the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and heated through, for about 3-5 minutes. 
  4. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water. 
  5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. 
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley or sage, and sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds. 
  7. Enjoy!
