Pumpkin Rigatoni with Crispy Sage
Creamy and cheesy pumpkin rigatoni topped with crispy fried sage leaves!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb rigatoni
- 1 c pumpkin puree
- 1 c heavy cream
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced or chopped
- pinch nutmeg
- 1/2 c parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 8 large sage leaves
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Cook and drain the pasta according to the packages instructions.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium/high heat. Place the sage leaves into the oil in a single layer. Let the sage get crispy and golden brown on both sides, about 30-45 seconds. Remove the sage from the pan and set on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Season with salt.
- In the same pan saute the garlic until soft and aromatic. Next, pour in the pumpkin, cream, nutmeg and a big pinch of salt. Whisk the sauce together and bring to a simmer. Add in the parmesan cheese and cooked rigatoni. Stir the rigatoni into the sauce together until it is evenly coated.
- Divide the pasta between bowls, crumble the crispy sage over the top and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and fresh ground pepper. Serve immediately!
