Hello, fellow foodies! Today I’m excited to share with you a dish that perfectly captures the cozy vibes of fall – Spicy Pumpkin Pasta. This recipe is a unique twist on a classic pasta dish, combining the rich flavors of pumpkin with a spicy kick that will warm you up from the inside out. I love making this recipe on chilly autumn evenings when I’m craving something hearty and comforting.

Ingredients:

• 250g pumpkin puree

• to taste
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• frying pan
• wooden spoon
• pot

To start, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Next, add in the pumpkin puree and coconut milk, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste.

While the sauce is simmering, cook your pasta according to package instructions in a separate pot. Once al dente, drain the pasta and add it to the pumpkin sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Serve the Spicy Pumpkin Pasta hot, garnished with some extra chili flakes for an added kick.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 890 grams, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 222.5 grams, with an estimated calorie count of 380 per serving.

One tip to enhance the flavors of this dish is to toast some pumpkin seeds in a dry pan until fragrant and sprinkle them on top before serving. This adds a nice crunch and extra layer of pumpkin flavor to the pasta.

I hope you give this Spicy Pumpkin Pasta a try and get creative with it by adding your own twist. Enjoy the cozy flavors of fall in a warm and comforting bowl of pasta!
