Cozy Pumpkin Pasta Recipe

Welcoming Fall with a Cozy Pumpkin Pasta

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that perfectly captures the essence of fall—my cozy pumpkin pasta. As the weather starts to cool down and the leaves change colors, there’s nothing quite like a warm and comforting bowl of pasta to get you in the autumn spirit. This dish is creamy, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients:

• 200g pumpkin puree
• 150ml heavy cream
• 250ml chicken broth
• 10g fresh sage, chopped
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 30g butter
• 50g parmesan cheese, grated
• 300g pasta of your choice

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• grater
• chef’s knife

To start, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the chopped sage. Cook until fragrant, then pour in the chicken broth and pumpkin puree. Stir in the heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked pasta directly into the saucepan. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated evenly. Finally, sprinkle in the grated parmesan cheese and give it a final stir.

Serve the pumpkin pasta hot, garnished with extra parmesan and a sprinkle of black pepper. The creamy texture and warm flavors of the pumpkin sauce are sure to make this dish a fall favorite.

One clever tip for this recipe is to roast chunks of pumpkin in the oven before pureeing them for the sauce. This adds a depth of flavor and sweetness that you can’t achieve with canned pumpkin alone.

I hope you give this cozy pumpkin pasta a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite pasta shape or additional toppings. Happy cooking!
