Creamy Pumpkin Pasta
A simple, comforting autumn pasta with sweet pumpkin, fragrant rosemary, garlic and Parmesan. The pumpkin cooks down into a beautiful, creamy sauce without needing any cream!
Ingredients
¼ small pumpkin, peeled and roughly cubed
1 small onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Dried chilli flakes, to taste
Sea Salt, to taste
Freshly grated Parmesan/ Italian hard cheese to taste
Pasta of your choice
½ cup reserved pasta water, as needed
Extra virgin olive oil, to finish
Method
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped garlic, rosemary sprigs and dried chilli flakes. Sauté gently for about 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Add the finely diced onion and cook until softened and translucent.
Add the pumpkin cubes, season with salt and pour in a splash of water. Cover and cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until the pumpkin is soft enough to mash with the back of a spoon. Add a little more water and cook for longer if needed.
Meanwhile, cook your pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
Add the cooked pasta directly to the pumpkin mixture. Gently mash some of the pumpkin to create a creamy sauce, leaving a few pieces intact for texture.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.. just a little . Toss everything together until the pasta is beautifully coated.
Add freshly grated Parmesan, a little at a time, tossing until the sauce becomes creamy and silky.
Finish with a drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil and serve immediately!
