Spaghetti With Pumpkin Sage Cream Sauce Recipes

PASTA WITH PUMPKIN SAGE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Retain 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid for later use before draining well and returning pasta to the pot.
• Combine cream, pumpkin puree, Parmesan, sage, salt, pepper, and 1/3 cup of the pasta water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and add butter. Stir until melted.
• While the sauce is simmering, fry the sage leaves for garnish. Add oil to a small skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add sage leaves. Fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Remove from oil and set on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
• Pour sauce over cooked pasta and stir to combine. If needed, you can add the remaining reserved pasta water in to adjust the consistency as desired. Serve immediately, with a few fried sage leaves and additional Parmesan sprinkled on top of each bowl.

PUMPKIN SAGE PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the ingredients: chop the garlic, sage, and shred the cheese.
• Melt one tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat with the chopped garlic. Once the butter has melted add the flour and stir until it forms a paste.
• Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in 3/4 cup water or milk stirring constantly until the sauce begins to thicken.
• Stir in 1 cup pumpkin puree and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt. Cook the sauce for a few minutes over low heat, then add 1/2 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon chopped sage.
• Reduce the heat to low until you are ready to serve it. If the sauce is too thick, use water to make it thinner.

SPAGHETTI WITH PUMPKIN SAGE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the spaghetti/pasta according to the instructions on the package.
• Heat the olive oil in the pan on medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until translucent and tender. Add the garlic and sage and stir to combine. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the wine to deglaze the pan and stir. Cook for 2 minutes and remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Put the pumpkin, plant-based milk, onion and sage mixture, and pasta water in a high powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If you have a Blendtec blender use the Whole Foods - Soup setting for best results.
• Wipe the pan that you cooked the onions in to remove any pieces of onion or garlic that may be left. Pour the cream sauce in the pan and salt and pepper. Bring to a low boil on medium-low heat. Add more pasta water if you want a thinner sauce.
• Drain the pasta and add to the pan. Stir to coat the pasta. Plate and sprinkle any or all of the toppings over the pasta.
• Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir in a little plant-based milk to make the sauce creamy when reheating.
