Creamy Pumpkin Sage Pasta Inspo
This is another inspiration story like many others, this one came from my parent’s garden. My mom had an epic sage plant that she grew in her herb garden. So, I took some sage, then had no clue what to do with it. Through some inspirational research, I found that is pairs very well with brown butter and pumpkin! I have yet to find a good vegan butter that will brown, so that was not in my wheel house.
Pairing sage with pumpkin intrigued me though. I saw recipes for scones, biscuits, gnocchi and pasta! Clearly, I went with the pasta inspiration. I was a little nervous that pairing too much pumpkin with pasta would be gross, which it was (yay for recipe fails). Finally, I found the perfect combination between pumpkin, vegan cream cheese and garlic!
This dish is creamy, savory and absolutely delightful for any fall pasta. The pumpkin is in no way overpowering. It adds a nice little twist to it, and it – almost – mimics mac and cheese!
Pasta Ingredients
I usually provide for substitutes for a lot of my recipes, but in this case, I would not sub out much. Each ingredient plays a crucial part in making this pasta what it is. Switching one may result in less creaminess or too much pumpkin taste!
Eating the Pasta
I ate mine with wide ribbon pasta, but I am sure it would be great with any type! I think using shells would be absolutely delightful.

This sauce will keep up to 4 days in the fridge in an air tight container. I use Ello containers for mine!
