00:00Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce
00:01This recipe is basically fall in a bowl, except it won't leave you raking leaves afterward.
00:08The creamy richness of traditional Alfredo gets a cozy makeover with pumpkin puree and fresh sage,
00:14creating something that tastes way more sophisticated than the 20 minutes it takes to make.
00:19For the pasta, you'll need 12 ounces of fettuccine or your favorite long pasta.
00:24For the pumpkin Alfredo sauce, melt 2 tablespoons of butter or heat olive oil in a pan,
00:29then add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of freshly chopped sage, saving a little extra for garnish.
00:37Stir in 3 quarters cup of canned pumpkin, making sure it's pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.
00:43Pour in 1 cup of half and half or heavy cream, then mix in half a cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
00:50Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste and serve topped with extra Parmesan and sage.
00:56Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat, using 1 tablespoon of salt per quart.
01:03Add 12 ounces fettuccine and cook about 8 minutes until al dente.
01:08Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat until foamy but not browned.
01:14Add minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of chopped sage.
01:18Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
01:21Stir in 3 quarters cup canned pumpkin and 1 cup half and half, whisking until smooth.
01:27Add grated Parmesan, salt and black pepper, whisking until melted and silky.
01:33Simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
01:36Drain the pasta, add to the sauce, and toss evenly, adding pasta water as needed.
01:42Serve immediately topped with fresh sage and extra Parmesan.
01:46This pumpkin, Alfredo, has about 420 calories per serving, with 15 grams protein, 18 grams fat, 55 grams carbs, and 4 grams fiber.
01:56Pumpkin adds beta-carotene, potassium, and vitamin C for eye, heart, and immune health.
02:01Sage offers anti-inflammatory benefits, while garlic provides allicin for cardiovascular support.
02:09It contains gluten and dairy, is vegetarian and nut-free, and provides roughly 25% of daily vitamin A and 15% calcium.
02:19Replace regular fettuccine with shirataki noodles or zucchini noodles to reduce carbs by 80%.
02:25Total carb reduction, modified version contains approximately 15 grams net carbs per serving, versus 45 grams in the original recipe.
02:35Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water before draining.
02:39The starchy water is perfect for adjusting sauce consistency, and helps it cling to the noodles.
