Introduction

This is the sauce only part of an online recipe. It is intended to four servings when served with prepared 1 lb. of penne pasta, but as I am one person I cook the sauce and save it for single portions. I changed the recipe by adding beans to increase the protein content. This is the sauce only part of an online recipe.

Tips

Nutrition facts are calculated using chicken broth and sour cream. Vegetarians may use vegetable broth. Facts do not include black pepper or olive oil.

Directions

Mince garlic. In large skillet, heat olive oil over medium -low heat; add garlic and saute 1-2 minutes, or just until fragrant but not browned. Carefully add pumpkin puree and broth, stirring to fully combine. Add all spices and salt. Cover and bring to a high simmer, bubbling constantly. Cook for 10-15 minutes until thickened. Once thickened, remove 1/2 cup of sauce to a small bowl and temper the sour cream. Add back to the pan and stir. Add beans and stir to heat through. Sauce is ready when heated completely. Serve over pasta. May add shaved parmesan as a topping if desired. I served this with purchased shredded and bagged mozzarella and un-smoked provolone cheese, Serve with any good shaved or shredded Italian white cheese.
