5 Ingredient Pumpkin Alfredo

You’re going to love this fall favorite recipe from our friends at Pinch Of Yum! We made a pumpkin sauce that is as creamy and luscious and it is currently a major, magical feature of our fall food lives. Made with 5 ingredients? Coming together in just under 30 minutes? It is a luxurious gift to ourselves and those at our tables, and it is very likely to bring about world peace.

Directions

Cook the fettuccine according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid in case you want to thin out your sauce.

Heat the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic; saute until soft and fragrant. Add the pumpkin and heavy whipping cream.

Simmer until slightly thickened. Add the cheese and stir to combine.

Toss the pasta in the sauce and thin as needed using the reserved cooking liquid. Top with additional Parm and season to taste (I used at least one teaspoon coarse sea salt).

Serve immediately.

NOTES:

A few sage leaves or rosemary sprigs can take this to the next level! Add with the garlic and pull out just before the pumpkin and cream are added.

I used 8.8 ounces of fettuccine and I thought I would have way too much sauce, but the sauce thickens up and the pasta sort of soaks it up (plus I love a lot of sauce on my pasta) so it ended up being just about right. If you want LESS sauce, a) WHY? and b) just take a few scoops out of the skillet before adding the pasta. You could always add it in later if you come to your senses.

As the pasta sits, it does thicken to the point of possibly needing some thinning out. I just tossed in a little water to keep it creamy and loose.
