Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5–7 minutes until softened.
- Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 2–3 chopped fresh sage leaves. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add 1 cup of pumpkin puree, mixing well. Cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
- Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and add 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until smooth and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for an additional 10–15 minutes.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to boil. Cook your pasta according to package instructions, about 8–10 minutes until al dente.
- Before draining, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water. Drain the pasta in a colander.
- Incorporate the drained pasta into the creamy pumpkin sauce, tossing gently to coat. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
- Mix in half of the crumbled feta cheese, stirring to blend.
