1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 sweet onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups pumpkin puree
1 cup vegetable broth
⅔ cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
⅓ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste
¼ teaspoon white pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound tri-color rotini pasta

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, half-and-half, parsley, nutmeg, white pepper, salt, and black pepper; cook and stir until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
