Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Once the onion is tender, stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh sage. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add 1 cup of pumpkin puree to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onion, garlic, and sage. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and add 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese melts completely and the sauce is smooth.
- Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes, to taste. Simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook your pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the pumpkin sauce. Toss everything together gently over low heat.
- Sprinkle in half of the crumbled feta cheese and fold it into the pasta gently. Allow it to warm through.
- Drizzle melted butter over the pasta for added richness. Garnish with the remaining feta and pumpkin seeds.
