Velvety Pumpkin Pasta Recipe

Ingredients 0/11

Step 1

Warm some olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, and cook them, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent—this usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes. Next, add the pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, half-and-half, chopped parsley, a pinch of nutmeg, white pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together and let it simmer gently until the sauce is warmed through and nicely blended, which should take around 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2

While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your rotini pasta and cook it until it’s tender but still has a bit of bite—about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta and transfer it to a serving bowl. Pour the creamy pumpkin sauce over the pasta and finish it off with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Give everything a good toss and enjoy!
