Ingredients
- 12 ounces pasta dry
- 1 Tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon chipotle flakes or ½ teaspoon if using powdered, dried
- ¼ teaspoon cumin ground
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper optional
- black pepper to taste
- 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin
- ¾ teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 1¼ cups plant milk such as cashew or soy, plain, unsweetened, non-dairy
Instructions
- Cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Reserve about ½ cup of the pasta water for the sauce, and drain the pasta in a colander.
- Preheat a large saute pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Add the oil and cook the onion for about 7 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic, chipotle, cumin, cayenne, and black pepper. Stirring frequently, cook for 1 minute.
- Add the pumpkin and salt to the pan, stir well, then whisk in the milk. Bring to a simmer, and whisk in reserved pasta water to thin the sauce to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired.
- Toss the pasta with the pumpkin sauce and serve hot.
Notes
- Prep Tips
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave. You can add a splash of plant-based milk if the sauce seems dry.
- Generously salt the pasta water for the best flavor.
- Cook the pasta just until al dente since it will continue to cook once tosssed with hot pumpkin sauce.
- If you're sensitive to spice, start with less chipotle and omit the cayenne pepper, then gradually add more to taste.
