If you’ve only been putting pumpkin in muffins, we need to talk. 🎃
This creamy pumpkin sausage pasta has browned Italian sausage, a garlicky pumpkin sauce, plenty of Parmesan and crispy sage on top. Exactly what I want to be eating this time of year…comment PASTA and I’ll send you the recipe!
It’s the next recipe in my collaboration with Home Grown my favorite local grocery store here in Dripping Springs. I love showing you how to turn their beautiful ingredients into meals you can actually get on the table for your family.
Here’s what’s going into this one:
🍝 Pasta choose a shape with plenty of little pockets to catch that creamy pumpkin sauce. I used Papa’s Pasta Co. comfy bouillon
🥩 Italian sausage: browned until it gets those crispy edges. It brings protein and so much flavor to the dish. I used Amanda Bailey mild Italian sausage
🎃 Pumpkin: stirred right into the sauce for a creamy texture and an easy way to get another veggie into dinner.
🧅 Onion + garlic : cooked in butter after browning the sausage, so all those good browned bits become part of the sauce.
🥣 Bone broth : adds richness and loosens up the pumpkin as everything simmers together.
🧈 Butter, cream + parmesan because we’re making a dinner that’s nourishing AND tastes really good.
🥬 Kale : finely chopped and wilted into the sauce.
🌿 Fresh sage : some goes into the sauce, and some gets crisped up for the top. Please don’t skip this part!
About 30 minutes, and you’ve got protein, veggies and real-food carbs all in one bowl. 🙌🏼
