Pumpkin Pasta with Butter Sage Sauce

1: Prepare the Pumpkin Purée. If using canned pumpkin purée, measure out 1 cup. If using fresh pumpkin, roast or boil, then purée until smooth.

2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée and flour. Mix until a dough forms.

3: Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

4: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Cut the dough roughly with a scissor into the boiling water. Cook the fresh pasta for about 3 minutes or until al dente.

5: Once it’s ready, add it to your favourite sauce and enjoy.

6: In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add fresh sage leaves and sauté until the butter turns golden.

7: Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it directly to the pan with the sage butter. Toss the pasta to coat it in the flavorful butter.

8: Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the pasta and continue tossing until the cheese melts and coats the pasta evenly. Add some pasta water to help combine all the ingredients together.

9: Garnish with additional Parmesan and sage leaves for a finishing touch.
