Ingredients
– 8 oz penne pasta
– 1 cup pumpkin puree
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. 2. In a saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, Parmesan, sage, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk over medium heat until the sauce is heated through and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
3. 3. Add the cooked penne to the sauce and toss to coat. Serve immediately, garnished with extra chopped sage if desired.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, let the pumpkin mixture simmer for a few extra minutes. You can also add a splash of white wine or vegetable broth to thin out the sauce if needed.
