Creamy Pumpkin Alfredo Pasta

Today, I’m excited to share a comforting and delicious recipe perfect for a cozy fall evening. This creamy pumpkin alfredo pasta is a unique twist on a classic Italian dish, bringing together the rich flavors of pumpkin with a luxurious alfredo sauce. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the season of pumpkins and comfort food.

Ingredients:

200g pumpkin puree
250ml heavy cream
100g parmesan cheese, grated
2 cloves of garlic, minced
50g butter
1/2 tsp nutmeg
to taste
300g fettuccine pasta

Kitchen Tools:

saucepan
whisk
cheese grater
colander

To start, cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and nutmeg, stirring until well combined. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander and add it to the saucepan with the pumpkin alfredo sauce. Toss the pasta until it is well coated with the creamy sauce. Serve the pumpkin alfredo pasta warm, garnished with additional parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of nutmeg for extra flavor.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 900g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 225g, with an estimated calorie count of 450 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to garnish the dish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a sweet and tangy flavor contrast that perfectly complements the creamy pumpkin alfredo sauce.

I encourage you to give this creamy pumpkin alfredo pasta a try and make it your own by adding your favorite seasonal vegetables or protein. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful dish with your loved ones this fall season!
