Ingredients

1 Person

  • 100 g
    Protein Pasta
  • 0.5
    red onion
  • 200 g
    pumpkin (we recommend sunshine squash, a.k.a. Hokkaido)
  • 10 g
    olive oil
  • 300 ml
    vegetable broth
  • 3
    sage leaves
  • 5 g
    olive oil

Preparation

  • 1

    Dice the onion. Peel the pumpkin if desired, and cut into cubes. If using a red kuri, you don’t need to peel it; buttnernuts do need to be peeled.

  • 2

    Put the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Saute the onion for 3 miuntes.

  • 3

    Add the pumpkin to the pan. Saute briefly, then pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer immediately. Simmer for about 10 minutes, until the pumpkin pieces have cooked through.

  • 4

    Puree with a hand blender. Add more vegetable broth if needed to ensure your sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a pinch of nutmeg to deepen the flavor!

  • 5

    Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to the boil. As soon as it’s boiling, salt generously and add the Protein Pasta. Cook for 7 minutes.

  • 6

    Heat the remaining olive oil in a pan. When the oil is shimmering, carefully add the sage leaves one by one. Briefly saute until they are crispy, then remove to paper towels to drain.

  • 7

    Drain the pasta. Pour into the pan with the pumpkin sauce. Mix the pumpkin pasta together, and add more broth to thin the texture if needed.

  • 8

    Serve the pumpkin pasta and garnish with the sage leaves.
