Total time: 15 mins
Servings: 4
– 1 tbsp. olive oil
– 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
– 8 chopped fresh sage leaves
– 1 cup 2% milk
– 1/2 cup half-and-half
– 1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin puree
– 1 tsp. salt
– 1/2 tsp. freshly ground white pepper
– 1/4 tsp. chili powder
– 8 oz. gemelli pasta, cooked and drained
Directions
Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are crispy, about 5 minutes. Add sage, and cook for 30 seconds, being careful so sage doesn’t burn. Remove mixture to a paper towel lined tray.
Add milk, half-and-half, pumpkin, salt, pepper, and chili powder to the same pan. Cook and stir over medium heat until a smooth, creamy sauce forms, about 2 minutes. Cook until thoroughly heated through.
Divide cooked gemelli pasta amongst 4 plates. Top with pumpkin sauce and sprinkle reserved shallot mixture on top.
