PASTA WITH PUMPKIN SAGE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Retain 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid for later use before draining well and returning pasta to the pot.
• Combine cream, pumpkin puree, Parmesan, sage, salt, pepper, and 1/3 cup of the pasta water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and add butter. Stir until melted.
• While the sauce is simmering, fry the sage leaves for garnish. Add oil to a small skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add sage leaves. Fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Remove from oil and set on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
• Pour sauce over cooked pasta and stir to combine. If needed, you can add the remaining reserved pasta water in to adjust the consistency as desired. Serve immediately, with a few fried sage leaves and additional Parmesan sprinkled on top of each bowl.
