Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped onion, cooking for 5-7 minutes until it turns translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh sage, cooking for about 1 minute more.
- Mix in a 15-ounce can of pumpkin puree, stirring well for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan, stirring until smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
- Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, adding up to 1/2 cup of vegetable broth or reserved pasta water if it thickens too much.
- While sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook 1 pound of pasta until al dente, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Add the drained pasta directly to the skillet with the creamy pumpkin sauce, tossing to combine. Adjust thickness with reserved pasta water as needed.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the pasta and stir gently. Serve hot, garnished with remaining crumbled feta and 1/4 cup of toasted pumpkin seeds.
