This easy, creamy pumpkin sauce tossed with your favorite pasta for a quick, warm, and comforting weeknight dinner. It's utterly delicious and perfect for Fall. I use Hokkaido pumpkin, but kabocha or butternut squash would do just great. Top with some bacon or walnuts if you like.

  • 1 Small Hokkaido pumpkin, cubed (650g)
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 2-3 Thyme sprigs
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 200 Pasta of your choice
  • 240 ml Homemade broth
  • 100 ml Cream / milk
  • 1 tbsp White balsamic
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne
  • Large pinch of nutmeg
  • Large pinch of chilli flakes
  • 1-2 tbsp Flat parsley, chopped
  • Parmigiano-Reggiano, to serve
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Combine cubed pumpkin, garlic cloves and thyme sprigs with olive oil in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Spread out on a baking sheet. Bake until pumpkin is very soft and has browned slightly, about 25 minutes.
  2. Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water, following packet directions, until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander.
  3. Reserve about 1/3 of cubed pumpkin. Place the remaining roasted pumpkin and garlic cloves in a saucepan together with homemade broth, cream, white balsamic and spices. Use an immersion blender process until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add more broth or noodle water if mixture is too thick.
  4. Stir the drained pasta and chopped parsley into the sauce. Divide the pasta in two plates. Shave some Parmesan over. Enjoy!

La calabaza entra dentro de mis vegetales favoritos, aunque la consumo todo el año, en esta época es cuando más rica está y por eso la preparo de cantidad de formas. Esta pasta me parece sencillamente deliciosa.

That looks nice but for me not filling, would have to have meat as well.

I love pasta, no matter how it comes, but that pumpkin sauce sounds delicious, extra hearty and warming for this time of year. I do enjoy a slightly 'cheesy' topping too, so bring on the Parmigiano-Reggiano!

Thanks for the suggestion and the lovely presentation! :)

It defo is a time of the year for Hokkaido.
Mixing milk with vinegar sounds like a potential kitchen disaster, doesn't it curdle the milk? I think I'd rather just use sour cream.

Ron 20/10/21 10:09

Great dish Angie and one we enjoy in the autumn as well. But, your recipe has a few ingredients I've not used in a winter squash pasta. As Hokkaido is a fav and now available in our markets, I see this on the table soon.

Chef Mimi 20/10/21 13:31

I love this! I especially love that you baked/roasted those ingredients first. I usually just use a container of pumpkin or other squash for a sauce, but your way is way more flavorful! Thanks!

I made something similar last year and can't find my recipe for it. This sounds super. I am thinking you could substitute butternut squash for the pumpkin?

I love pumpkin-based sauces - they add to pasta such a silky and smooth texture. This dish looks stunning. For myself (But mostly for Daisy LOL), I would also add some crispy prosciutto or pancetta :)
