Creamy Pumpkin Pasta Sauce,  a fast and easy Pumpkin Sauce, creamy and delicate. The perfect meatless Dinner Recipe.

Creamy Pumpkin Pasta Sauce, delicious fast and easy creamy squash/pumpkin pasta recipe. The perfect weeknight vegetarian dinner.                              

As we start to head into the Holiday Season, between Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas I like to think that this Creamy Delicious Pumpkin Sauce Recipe would give you a much needed boost of energy.

And needless to say I certainly hope you aren’t tired of Squash or pumpkin recipes yet. Because this is a good one.

It is another fast and easy pasta recipe, Creamy Pumpkin Pasta Sauce. The best kind!

I’m one of those people who loves a creamy pasta sauce, probably because I can top it off with some freshly grated Parmesan.

The Italian is the opposite, he insists it covers the taste of the sauce. But what does he know? 😉

I have never been much of a squash lover, but after making a creamy squash filling for Ravioli, Sweet and Savory I also discovered how delicious it can be tossed with some pasta especially Fettuccine!

To make this recipe I decided to make my own Pumpkin Puree , very easy and the taste is amazing.

I then whisked the Pumpkin Puree together with a little cream and chopped garlic and tossed it with some Fettuccine.

You could actually use your favourite pasta or a short pasta, because Italians say a short pasta holds a cream sauce better. Buon Appetito!

        Hi Becky, thanks so much, so glad you liked it. I actually didn’t like pumpkin food very much before, but for the last couple of years, I can’t seem to get enough. 🙂

        Haha I know and the colour didn’t help either. But it was really good so I thought what the heck. Some food unfortunately is just not very photogenic. 🙂
