Recipe: Pumpkin Sage Pasta

This pumpkin sage pasta might not win any awards for originality but what it lacks in inventiveness it definitely makes up for with flavour! It’s an excellent mid week Autumn meal as it’s hearty and delicious but also ready in no time at all. It really is Autumn is a bowl!

If you’re not worried about keeping things vegan friendly then you can toss through some feta or goat’s cheese, but this is delicious enough as is in my books. I love the sweetness of the pumpkin which pairs so naturally with the sage leaves. It really is a simple but excellent dish!

    I’ve had a serious influx of pumpkin in my kitchen and have been making a variation of this dish regularly! I roast the pumpkin with rosemary and garlic, and use either basil or thyme in the burnt butter sauce! We don’t have sage in our garden, so I substituted!

    Such a lovely simple recipe… the hardest part would be chopping up the pumpkin, and it’s breezy from there!
