Instructions
- Pasta: Cook pasta in salted water according to the instructions on the package.
- Garlic: Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Sauce: Stir in pumpkin, broth, and tomato paste. Cover and bring to a gentle simmer, letting it simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in cream cheese, sage, salt, and pepper.
- Optional Blend: If you want an even smoother sauce, carefully blend using a handheld immersion blender or countertop blender (leave the lid cracked to allow steam to escape).
- Serve: Toss cooked pasta and pumpkin sauce. Transfer to serving bowls, topping liberally with freshly grated parmesan.
Notes
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can keep the pasta and sauce in separate containers or combine everything in one. Enjoy within 4 to 5 days!
