Pumpkin Pasta Sauce

Method

1. 1

   In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic and chopped sage leaves, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Stir in the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and broth. Mix well until smooth.

5. 5

   Add the grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the sauce over low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

6. 6

   Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the pumpkin sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, grated parmesan, fresh sage leaves, and freshly ground black pepper.
