Ingredients and Weight:
- 16 ounces pumpkin puree
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup fresh sage leaves, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Preparation Time:

Cooking Time:

Difficulty Level:
2 (Moderate)
Preparation Method Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll out each part into a thin sheet, about 1/16-inch thick.
- Use a pasta cutter or knife to cut the dough into your desired noodle shape (e.g., fettuccine, tagliatelle).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sage leaves and walnuts (if using).
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the cream sauce. Stir to combine.
- Serve immediately, topped with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
