Decadent Fall Delight: Pumpkin Pasta Recipe with Sage Brown Butter Sauce

Exploring New Flavors: Pumpkin Pasta with Sage Brown Butter Sauce

As the weather starts to cool down and the leaves begin to change, I find myself craving comforting and hearty dishes. Today, I’m excited to share a unique recipe that combines the earthy sweetness of pumpkin with the nutty richness of a sage brown butter sauce. This dish is perfect for a cozy fall evening spent with loved ones or simply to treat yourself to something special.

Ingredients:

• 200g pumpkin puree
• 250g flour
• 1 egg
• 10 fresh sage leaves
• 100g butter
• 50g grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp salt

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• rolling pin
• knife
• frying pan
• wooden spoon

To start, combine the pumpkin puree, flour, egg, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix until a dough forms, then turn it out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Roll out the dough and cut into your desired pasta shape.

In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until they become crispy. Remove the sage leaves and set them aside. Continue cooking the butter until it turns a golden brown color and gives off a nutty aroma.

While the butter is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, then drain and add it to the brown butter sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly.

Serve the pumpkin pasta with the crispy sage leaves on top and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese. The combination of the sweet pumpkin, savory brown butter, and crispy sage creates a harmonious and comforting dish that is perfect for fall.

One unique tip for this dish is to toast the sage leaves in the brown butter before removing them. This will intensify the sage flavor and add a delicious depth to the sauce.

I encourage you to give this pumpkin pasta with sage brown butter sauce a try and feel free to experiment with different additions such as toasted nuts or a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Enjoy!
