Current situation: Jammin’ to the N’Sync Christmas album (yup! already) and debating putting up our tree/decor this weekend. You can call me a Christmas crazy if you’d like, I’ve come to complete terms with it. It’s ok if you embrace it. 🙂 Now IF ONLY it wasn’t, like, 90 degrees outside right now. I think someone needs to tell Oklahoma that it’s actually fall and needs to get itself together. C’mon, Oklahoma! We need fall weather ASAP!
But there’s no time to wait around for that, so we’re moving forward like it’s sweater weather out there with this comfy and cozy Creamy Pumpkin Pasta!
I know, I know. It sounds all fancy and complicated, but I promise it’s the easiest EVER! Just throw a can of organic pumpkin puree into the blender (well, take it out of the can first….), blend it with some basil, olive oil, garlic, and water, then heat it up on the stove top and pour it over this delicious (cooked) whole wheat fettuccine!
This Creamy Pumpkin Pasta is seriously EPIC. Creamy, savory, garlic-y, light, delicious. I NEED SOME RN BRB.
Obviously, we don’t have a pumpkin recipe shortage on this blog by any means. We’ve got Mini Pumpkin Pies, Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats, Pumpkin Spice Creamer, and Pumpkin Muffins to name a few. But this is one of the few savory pumpkin recipes (other than this delicious Pumpkin Curry Soup!), and since it’s combined with pasta, it’s basically the best thing ever!
This recipe is vegan, but feel free to add in protein of your choice! I enjoy it as is, but there are lots of options here as far as what you can serve it with.
Here’s the delicious recipe:
- 8 oz. whole wheat fettuccine
- ½ cup whole basil leaves
- 15 oz. can organic pumpkin puree
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic
- salt/pepper
- ¾ cup water
- Cook the fettuccine according to package directions.
- In a blender, blend the basil leaves until they small pieces.
- Add in the pumpkin puree, olive oil, garlic, salt/pepper, and water. Blend into a sauce. Feel free to add more or less water, depending on your sauce consistency preference.
- Heat the sauce over medium heat until it's evenly hot.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked fettuccine. Serve hot and enjoy!
