To bring this dish to life, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

Start by cooking the tagliatelle pasta according to the package instructions. In a saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, truffle oil, and heavy cream over low heat. Whisk the mixture until smooth and creamy. Add in the grated parmesan cheese and continue stirring until the cheese is melted and incorporated.

Once the pasta is cooked al dente, drain it in a colander and add it to the saucepan with the pumpkin mixture. Toss the pasta in the creamy sauce until well coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
