🎃 Currently on a pumpkin pasta kick, and honestly, it just feels right for the season! 

🤎 Here’s what you need to try this at home:

3 tbsp butter
6 sage leaves
1/2 cup pumpkin purée
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 shallot, chopped
1 lb spicy Italian sausage
2 tbsp reserved pasta water
1–2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Bow tie pasta
Parmesan cheese for topping

🍂 Instructions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook your bow tie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve some pasta water before draining.

In a Dutch oven or skillet over medium heat, cook the spicy Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the sage leaves. Cook until fragrant and slightly crispy. Remove a few leaves for garnish.

Add the chopped shallot and sauté until softened and lightly golden. Stir in the pumpkin purée and tomato paste, cooking for 2–3 minutes to deepen the flavors.

Pour in the heavy cream, then add the onion powder, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. 

Stir until smooth and creamy.

Add 2 tbsp of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce, adding more as needed. 

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, then add your bow tie pasta. Toss everything together until evenly coated in the creamy pumpkin sauce.

Serve & top with parmesan cheese 

🤎 Enjoy!
