PASTA WITH CREAMY PUMPKIN SAUCE (FROM EVERYDAY FOOD)
This looks great and easy enough for a fall weeknight! The original recipe called for rosemary, but I am a big fan of pumpkin and basil! This is a great light dinner, or a good side dish. Update: Thanks to Amaze-Ing Me, I went back and tweaked the sauce a bit to make it even better! Update: I made this quicker after needing to rush for dinner one night--you can't even tell the difference! I also added some poached chicken to make it a real one dish meal and it was great!

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin: Fresh pumpkin has a more vibrant flavor than canned pumpkin. If you can, use fresh pumpkin puree for the best results.
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and gives it a slightly caramelized taste.
- Use a good quality cream: The cream is a key ingredient in this sauce, so it's important to use a good quality cream. Avoid using ultra-pasteurized or shelf-stable cream, as it can have a chalky or grainy texture.
- Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked until it is just heated through. Overcooking the sauce can cause it to separate.
- Serve the sauce immediately: The sauce is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to store the sauce, let it cool completely before refrigerating it. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine with creamy pumpkin sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall meal. The roasted pumpkin gives the sauce a rich and flavorful taste, and the cream makes it smooth and velvety. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
