Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 box linguine 1 lb, or fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1 cup kale washed and chopped, fresh leaves
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or up to 1 cup (see note)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt divided
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper divided
  • 1 tablespoon thyme chopped, fresh leaves
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree pure
  • 1/4 cup pasta water to 1 cup (see note, reserved cooking
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • Parmesan Cheese extra for serving

Notes

  • Make this pumpkin alfredo sauce with just cream and pumpkin puree, or with cream, pumpkin and pasta water to lighten up the sauce.
  • As for the mushrooms, button mushrooms are perfect. For even more umami, go for shiitake and portobello.
  • Make this Pumpkin Alfredo vegan by swapping butter for Earth Balance (Vegan Butter) and cashew cream for cream. Add some coconut aminos to up the umami and skip the parmesan.
  • The proportions of pasta water and cream are very personal.
  • Optimal Alfredo sauce will consume the 1 cup of cream and 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  • Light Alfredo Sauce can use as little as 2 Tablespoons of cream with 1 cup of pasta water.
