Pumpkin Alfredo Pasta Recipe
Ingredients:
12 oz fettuccine or your favorite pasta
2 tbsp butter (or vegan butter)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a vegan option)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for a vegan version)
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and nutmeg, mixing until smooth. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Add the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy. For a vegan version, substitute nutritional yeast for Parmesan to keep the dish dairy-free but still cheesy and savory.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing until it’s fully coated in the creamy pumpkin Alfredo sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
This Pumpkin Alfredo Pasta is like fall in a bowl—creamy, warm, and oh-so-satisfying. It’s the ideal comfort food that’s perfect for a cozy night in or a fall-inspired gathering with friends. Serve it with crusty bread and a simple side salad for a complete meal that celebrates the season.
