Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup cream cheese at room temperature (regular or dairy free works)
- 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces short cut pasta cooked to package directions (I like chickpea pasta)
- fresh sage sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil up in a large, high-sided pan on medium heat.
- Sautee the onion and garlic until lightly golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in all the remaining ingredients, except the sage and pasta, and whisk together. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce begins to thicken and reduce. NOTE: if it gets too thick, thin it out with some pasta water!
- Toss in your cooked pasta and stir until coated.
- Divide between bowls, garnish with sage and DEVOUR!
