Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. Fettuccine Pasta Save 2 Cups Of Pasta Water
  • 6 tbsp. Butter
  • 2 tsp. Garlic Minced
  • 1 Cup Pumpkin Puree
  • ⅛ Nutmeg
  • ⅔ Half and Half 
  • ½ Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Parsley

Instructions
 

  • Cook the fettuccine in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain, saving 2 cups of pasta water. In a skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir in pumpkin puree, nutmeg, and half and half until well combined.
  • Gradually add pasta water, ½ cup at a time, to the sauce. Stir and cook on medium-high for 2-3 minutes until creamy.
  • Add the cooked pasta into the skillet, in the sauce.
  • Mix the pasta and sauce thoroughly, coating every strand.
  • Plate the pasta, garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Toast the Nutmeg: Toast the nutmeg for a few seconds in the pan to enhance its warm, earthy flavor.
Use Fresh Parmesan: Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and gives a richer taste than pre-shredded.
Add a Pinch of Chili Flakes: A tiny sprinkle of chili flakes adds a subtle kick that balances the sweetness of the pumpkin.
Finish with Olive Oil: Drizzle a touch of olive oil on the plated pasta for extra richness and shine.
