Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Fresh Garlic
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 3/4 cup Canned Pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup Cream Cheese at room temperature (regular or dairy free works)
  • 3/4 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 8 ounces Short Cut Pasta cooked to package directions (I like chickpea pasta)
  • Fresh Sage sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil up in a large, high-sided pan on medium heat.
  • Sautee the onion and garlic until lightly golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in all the remaining ingredients, except the sage and pasta, and whisk together. Bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce begins to thicken and reduce. NOTE: if it gets too thick, thin it out with some pasta water!
  • Toss in your cooked pasta and stir until coated.
  • Divide between bowls, garnish with sage and DEVOUR!
