Ingredients
- 1 pound gluten-free brown rice spaghetti or any other pasta of your choice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large shallot* or 2 small, peeled and chopped
- 6-8 leaves of fresh sage rinsed and julienned (sliced thinly), plus a few leaves as garnish
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 ½ cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
- ½ cup crème fraiche
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Reggiano grated
Instructions
- Cook your pasta according to the directions on its package. When cooked, reserve a cup of its liquid, drain, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large pan in medium heat. Add in the shallots and cook until translucent.
- Stir in the fresh sage leaves and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly for 45 seconds to a minute.

- Add in the pasta into the sauce. Stir to make sure all the pasta is coated with the sauce. If you think it needs a little more liquid, add some of the reserved pasta liquid.
- Taste for seasoning and add if necessary.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle it with Parmesan Reggiano and garnish it with fresh sage leaves.
