PUMPKIN ALFREDO SAUCE



Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce image

This recipe was a nice way to use up some extra pumpkin we had available. Served it to one person who really enjoys pumpkin (myself) and one who doesn't, and both came away really liking it! Has enough flavor that the pumpkin makes itself known, but not so much that it overpowers the alfredo flavor or texture. Recipe makes enough to toss with one cooked 12 oz. box of pasta.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pkg (9 oz. each) cheese tortellini (spinach ones are good too) cook as directed on package
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1/2 c canned 100% pure pumpkin solid
pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/4 c heavy cream
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
pinch pepper
chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Cook tortellini as directed on package- reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water then drain the pasta. --- Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring,until slightly soft, about 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin and nutmeg and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
  • 2. Stir in the cream and bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat to medium low; simmer, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cheese and cook until thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Add the tortellini to the skillet and toss with the sauce, adding some of the reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed. Divide among bowl and top with more cheese and parsley.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree has a more intense flavor and a smoother texture than canned puree. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until it is soft, then scoop out the flesh and blend it until smooth.
  • Don't overcook the pumpkin puree: Overcooked pumpkin puree can become watery and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it is heated through and has a slightly sweet taste.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: The quality of the Parmesan cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Look for a Parmesan cheese that is made from 100% cow's milk and that has been aged for at least 12 months.
  • Don't let the sauce boil: Boiling the sauce will cause the cheese to separate and become grainy. Keep the sauce at a low simmer and stir it constantly.
  • Serve the sauce immediately: Pumpkin Alfredo sauce is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to store it, let it cool completely and then refrigerate it for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin Alfredo sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, chicken, fish, and vegetables. The pumpkin puree adds a sweet and creamy flavor to the sauce, while the Parmesan cheese adds a salty and nutty flavor. This sauce is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
