Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree fresh or canned purée only, drain in a sieve for approximately 10-15 minutes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup cream (whipping/whole or heavy)
- 3 cups cooked al dente fettuccine (approximately 12 ounces dry)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped Italian parsley
Instructions
- In a large pan add the olive oil, butter and garlic, cook on low-medium heat 1 minute, add the pumpkin purée, salt, Parmesan cheese and cream, whisk to combine and heat thoroughly approximately 3-5 minutes, if too thick add a little pasta water, then gently add the cooked pasta and stir to combine. Serve immediately topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese or flakes. Enjoy!
Notes
- Be sure if using store bought pumpkin not to buy pumpkin pie filling. If making your own you could use either my simple Pumpkin Puree or an Easy Roasted Puree.
- Any leftover pumpkin pasta should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. It will keep 1-2 days in the fridge. Re-heat the leftovers either in a microwave or on the stove in a saucepan on medium-low heat. Add a little milk to bring it to the same creamy consistency.
