If it was left to me I’d make the simplest meals

Recipe 👇

Here’s how to make this super easy fall dinner:

In a small saucepan combine melt 3 tablespoons butter then add 2 minced garlic cloves and simmer until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Whisk in 1/2 can of pumpkin puree (not pie filling). Then 2/3 cup of cream or half and half. Whisk in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan. Add salt and pepper, taste to adjust. Keep it simmering while boiling noodles. I used 10 oz dry Mafaldine for this recipe.

Reserve 1/3 cup pasta water before straining.

In a large bowl combine cooked pasta with pasta water, pumpkin Alfredo sauce, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, red pepper flakes. Toss together (the sauce will thicken as it sits). Drizzle with hot honey!

... Read moreFor those chilly fall evenings, simple meals that require minimal effort can be a lifesaver. This recipe for pumpkin Alfredo pasta offers a creamy, rich texture paired with the seasonal flavor of pumpkin—making it a delightful option for any dinner. The use of garlic infuses an aromatic warmth, while the Parmesan cheese adds depth to the sauce. If you prefer one-pot dishes, this recipe is perfect as it avoids extensive cleanup, allowing you to focus more on enjoying your meal. Pairing this meal with a side salad or crusty bread can elevate it even further. Don't hesitate to experiment with adding sautéed vegetables for an added nutritional boost, or consider incorporating some protein like grilled chicken or shrimp for those who prefer a heartier option. Whatever your preference, this versatile recipe can easily be adjusted to meet your dietary needs, making it a perfect fit for everyone. Enjoy the comforting flavors and the warmth it brings to your dining experience!
