This creamy vegan Pumpkin Pasta is perfect for fall. The sauce highlights the deliciousness of pumpkin & is rich and creamy (without the dairy). This hearty pasta will be a hit at dinner time!
Place coconut milk upside down in freezer while making the rest of the meal.
Make pasta (as much as needed).*
While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in large saucepan.
Add garlic and onion and cook for 3-5 minutes.
Stir in sage, hot pepper flakes, basil, salt, pepper and nutmeg and cook for about a minute.
Add broth and pumpkin.
Open coconut milk and scoop out the hardened top part and add that along with vinegar and nutritional yeast to pan (do not add watery part of coconut milk) and stir.
Bring the sauce to a boil then turn heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, pitcher blender, or food processor blend the sauce (optional). If I'm feeling lazy and don't want to do more dishes, I just stir/whisk it all together. It's a little chunkier but still just as tasty.
Pour over cooked pasta.
Top with more sage leaves and my vegan parmesan.
