Creamy Pumpkin Alfredo



INGREDIENTS


  1. 1 pound fettuccine reserve 1 cup of pasta water
  2. 6 tablespoons butter
  3. 2 cloves garlic minced
  4. 1 cup pumpkin puree not pie filling
  5. 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  6. 2/3 cup half & half
  7. 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  8. 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley



INSTRUCTIONS


  • Bring a stockpot of water to a boil over high heat. Add a teaspoon of salt to the boiling water, then add fettuccine. Cook until al dente (check package instructions)
  • Meanwhile, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in garlic and cook for about a minute, careful not to burn. Stir in half & half, Parmesan, pumpkin and nutmeg. Stir until sauce is heated through and cheese is melted. Stir in pasta water, about 1/4 cup at a time, until sauce is desired consistency (I used about 1/2 a cup, and it was thick and creamy. For a thinner sauce, use more water).
  • Add pasta and cook over medium-high heat until sauce is smooth and pasta is well coated; about 1-2 minutes.
  • Divide into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and fresh grated Parmesan, if desired.
