Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound penne or other pasta
Kosher salt
1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin purée
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet smoked Spanish paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain and transfer to a large bowl, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, cook pumpkin purée, cream, paprika, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a large skillet or wide heavy pot over medium heat, whisking constantly, until smooth and warmed through, about 3 minutes. Add 3/4 cup pasta cooking liquid and whisk to combine. Add pasta and 1/4 cup parsley and cook, adding more pasta cooking liquid to thin sauce as needed, until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a platter. Top with more parsley and black pepper and serve.

The sauce was a bit too runny for my liking, but the flavor was still good.

This pasta dish was an absolute delight! The smokiness of the pumpkin cream sauce paired perfectly with the tender pasta. I added a bit of extra garlic and chili flakes for a touch of spice, and it turned out even better than I expected.
