Pumpkin Pasta Sauce When most of us think of pumpkin, we jump straight to the sweet stuff: lattes, pies, and muffins. But pumpkin deserves a spot at the savory table too, and this pumpkin pasta sauce is proof.

  • Total Time: 17 min
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 yellow or sweet onion, diced
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp minced garlic
¾ cup unsalted or low sodium vegetable broth
salt
pepper

Instructions

1-Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet: Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and caramelize until lightly golden brown (about 9-10 minutes) stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic and thyme and saute 1-2 minutes.
2-Combine caramelized onions, pumpkin, and broth in: Combine caramelized onions, pumpkin, and broth in blender. Starting at low speed and increasing to high, blend 30-60 seconds or until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper (I always add a pinch of black pepper and typically a pinch of salt when I use unsalted broth).
3-Enjoy this pasta over your noodles or: Enjoy this pasta over your noodles or vegetable “noodles” of choice! I find this to be the perfect amount of sauce for 16 ounces of pasta, but use as much or as little as you prefer. The sauce freezes well, so you can freeze half for another meal later.
