Description

Thick fettuccini noodles tossed in a rich, smoky pumpkin Alfredo sauce with warm spices and lots of cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Dry Fettuccini Pasta
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ½ cups Diced Red Pepper
  • ½ cups Diced Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ½ teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
  • ½ cups Dry White Wine (such As Pinot Grigio)
  • 1 can (15 1/2 Oz. Size) Pure Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 cup Vegetable Or Chicken Stock
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • ½ teaspoons Chili Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Smoked Paprika
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ cups Half-and-half
  • ½ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. When it’s done, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water then drain off the rest. Set pasta and pasta water aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the red pepper, onion, garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the white wine. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the pumpkin puree, chicken stock, reserved pasta water, and spices. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in half-and-half and grated Parmesan cheese. The sauce will look thin, but once the pasta is added it will thicken. Allow the mixture to cook and reduce slightly for 5 minutes. Give the mixture a taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

Turn off the heat and stir in the pasta. Allow the pasta to rest in the sauce for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with extra Parmesan cheese.

This has fabulous taste. I have a suggestion, however; the pasta needs to be WAY under-cooked, since it’s going to simmer for an additional 5 min. Our noodles started breaking up as we were eating them and got kinda mushy. Just a thought for next time…

Super tasty and easy! I didn’t have a red pepper so left that out. Would definitely make again
