One Pot Creamy Pumpkin Pasta Recipes

ONE-POT PUMPKIN PASTA

Steps:

• Heat a large high-sided skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil, once hot, add the onion. Cook until fragrant and begins to turn translucent, about 1 minute.
• Add the garlic, Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for 30-seconds. Add tomato paste and saute for 1 minute.
• Add the pasta, water, and vegetable stock. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Cook and frequently stir until the pasta is tender and water has mostly evaporated, keeping a small amount in the pan to create a light sauce, about 12 to 14 minutes. Add more water if needed, ½ cup at a time for a softer pasta. Turn the heat down to low.
• Stir in the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and nutmeg. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. If needed, add more vegetable broth to loosen the sauce consistency.
• Taste and season with more salt and pepper as desired.
• Garnish with chopped sage, parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Divide among plates and serve warm.

ONE POT CREAMY PUMPKIN PASTA

Steps:

• Add all ingredients except the goat cheese and parsley (and any additional salt and pepper) to a large, heavy pot - I use a 7-quart dutch oven.
• Place the pot over high heat and bring to a rolling boil. As soon as it comes to the rolling boil, set the timer for 9 minutes. Stir and toss with tongs as it cooks, stirring frequently for the first few minutes and then constantly as it thickens and begins to stick to the bottom of the pot. When the 9 minutes is up, the pasta should be tender and the sauce will have thickened slightly. If the pasta is not yet cooked, continue for one more minute. Remove from heat.
• Crumble goat cheese into the pasta. Stir gently until melted and combined. Let sit for 5 minutes (at this point, the pasta will seem somewhat soupy, but it will thicken as it sits).
• Stir and taste. Add additional salt and pepper if desired.
• Divide between bowls and sprinkle parsley over the tops.
